Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen is featured in Goodbye, the twenty-second and final episode of Season Three. It is sung by Finn and Puck.

As all of the New Directions graduating seniors are called on the stage in the auditorium with the rest of the school's seniors to receive their diploma, Finn and Puck sing the song in a cheerful mood. Beiste, Emma, Sue, and Will, along with several parents and the New Directions underclassmen, are there to celebrate the graduation scene. Afterwards, all of the seniors throw their hats up.

Lyrics[]

Puck:
Yeah. C'mon. Hoo!

I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy

Finn:
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was

Finn and Puck:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Puck:
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed

Finn:
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about

Finn and Puck:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Finn:
All right boy watch me working now! (Puck: Working now)

Puck:
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will

Finn:
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of...

Finn and Puck:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Finn:
What about this!
All right!
Ooh yeah

Puck:
All right!

Finn:
Woah, c'mon now

Puck:
Oh yeah

Finn:
All right!

Puck:
It's alright

Finn:
Ooh yeah

Puck:
Oh yeah

Finn:
All right!

Puck:
All right!

Finn:
C'mon now

Puck:
Oh yeah

(Both harmonizing)

Finn:
All right boys!
Keep rockin' now!

Finn and Puck:
Glory days!
