|
When he was a kid, he'd be up at five |
|
Take shots till eight and make the thing drive |
|
Out after school and back on ice |
|
That was his life, he was gonna play in the Big League |
|
Oh, the Big League |
|
Not many ways out of this cold northern town |
|
You work in the mill and get laid in the ground |
|
If you're gonna jump it will be with the game |
|
Real fast and tough is the only clear lane |
|
To the Big League |
|
Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna turn some heads |
|
My boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna knock 'em dead |
|
Ah, the Big League |
|
All the right moves when he turned eighteen |
|
Scholarship and school on a big U.S. team |
|
Out with his girl near Lake McClean |
|
Hit a truck doing seventy in the wrong lane |
|
To the Big League |
|
Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna turn some heads |
|
My boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna knock 'em dead |
|
Ah, never can tell what might come down |
|
Never can tell how much you got |
|
Just don't know, no, you never can tell |
|
Sometimes at night, I can hear the ice crack |
|
It sounds like thunder and it rips through my back |
|
Sometimes in the morning I still hear the sound |
|
Ice meets metal |
|
Can't you drive me down to the Big League? |
|
Ah, my boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna turn some heads |
|
My boy's gonna play in the Big League |
|
My boy's gonna knock 'em dead |
|
Ah, never can tell what might come down |
|
Never can tell when you might check out |
|
Just don't know, no you never can tell |
|
So do right to others like you do to yourself |
|
In the Big League |
|
Ah, the Big League |
|
Ah, the Big League |
