Seventeen, down and out, poor friends together
When my Dad proudly made my first guitar.
We practised everyday, over and over
A dream came true; our star was born in a local bar.
I can still remember how it's all begun.
Singing songs together, around the fire,
Oh we had lots of fun!
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on.
We had no Buick, no Limousine, but a coster's barrow
That we borrowed from the ragman in the street.
We had to bring him beer, over and over.
One day he said: "You may pay me, when you're number one".
I can still remember how it's all begun.
Singin' songs together, around the fire,
Oh we had lots of fun!
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are on
They keep me hangig' on.
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on.
