I still remember those glory days
where no one dared to get in our ways
it only seems like yesterday
seeing boots and braces all the way

we used to live out on the streets
we used to drink and used to steal to eat
we shared the joy and we shared the pain
i've never thought you'd call it a day

we were so proud
we were so strong
but now where have all the bootboys gone?
the joy we had
the pain we shared
are always on my mind.
