More Than A Game
We play hockey on the streets
We play shinny on sheets of ice
When the weather starts to change
And if it's Saturday night
Well, then it's hockey night
A tradition that'll always be the same
Mom's drinking double-double
And you're Dad's got stubble on his chin
Because it's an early morning game
And there's no one in the stands
Save friends and family for fans
But you feel like Gretzky on a breakaway
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
The backyard is flooded and lit
So we all throw our sticks
In the middle, so we can pick teams
That ain't a jersey, it's a sweater
Man, there's nothing better
Throw one on and start reliving all your dreams
Someone was always 'Bobby Orr'
Someone always said, "He shoots! He scores!"
9, 27, 4, 99 and 10
Bending stick 'neath the door
To get just a little more
Of a blade with a perfect bend
As long as you can't slide a quarter on end
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
Losing pucks in the snow
Where did that one go?
I can't believe it's the third one today
But when the springtime would come
We'd find every single one
And talk hockey all the long day
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
Clicking sticks three times
Drawing 'er back to your own line
Top shelf, and we're up by one
Ringing 'em off the crossbars
Moving our nets for the cars
And all together, we would yell, "Game on!"
And then our folks would call us in
And we all agreed, "Next goal wins!"
But it didn't matter how the game would end
Because the season never ended
On these rinks where we pretended
And tomorrow, we'd play for the Cup again
Yeah, tomorrow we'd play for the Cup again
And say, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
We play shinny on sheets of ice
When the weather starts to change
And if it's Saturday night
Well, then it's hockey night
A tradition that'll always be the same
Mom's drinking double-double
And you're Dad's got stubble on his chin
Because it's an early morning game
And there's no one in the stands
Save friends and family for fans
But you feel like Gretzky on a breakaway
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
I said, "Hey, hey yeah, it's more than a game!"
(More than a game)
