Backyard Rink

Well the score was all tied up and I was breaking in
Off the point, looking for the win
And the crowd was going crazy, time was running out
And I took my shot, through the shout I heard my mother calling me

She said son it's time for dinner now come on inside
You've been out there in the cold for quite a while
And there's coco on the stove and your dinner is on your plate
The Stanley Cup will have to wait

Other kids had lots of other good things I guess
And what you've never have you'll never miss
But somewhere long the line a kid has got to learn to think
And I did a lot of thinking on my own
On my backyard rink

When it got cold enough outside dad would flood the ice
Just after I'd be sent to bed
And I'd lay awake and listen to the water run
Ice dreams skating through my head
Well the sound of running water was peaceful
But to me it meant a little more
It meant dad was outside, the temperature was low
And there'd be fresh ice on the backyard rink tomorrow

And I hear mom say close your eyes, it's time to sleep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
But I couldn't help but peek over the window sill
And wonder how the night could be so still

Other kids had lots of other good things I guess
And what you've never have you'll never miss
But somewhere long the line a kid has got to learn to think
And I did a lot of thinking in my bed
About my backyard rink

I was looking at the crossbar when I took my shot
I was aiming at the win
But the puck flew high and wide and it missed the net
Caught my brother in the teeth
Well I skated as I waited his return from the hospital
He was fine
When I looked upon the stitches round his mouth
Well I wished that they were mine

Well that day I learned a lesson I would soon forget
When you shoot, you got to hit the net
Sometimes when you miss someone you love gets hurt
Other times it can be worse

Other kids had lots of other good things I guess
And what you've never have you'll never miss
It took stitches on my brother's mouth to make me learn to think
Like a lesson in the school of life in a form of the backyard rink

I learned lesson after lesson in the school of the backyard rink

Cause I learned to keep my head up and I learned to pass the puck
And when I got knocked down I learned to get back up
If someone could cause a threat to something or someone you love
You know sometimes you got to drop the gloves

Only when you sacrifice yourself for someone else
Should you receive, yourself
Only when you realize life's tougher than you think
Are you truly thankful for your years in your backyard rink

Now the score was all tied up and I was breaking in
Off the point
Looking for the win...


Mirror lyrics:

Looking for the win...
Off the point
Now the score was all tied up and I was breaking in

Are you truly thankful for your years in your backyard rink
Only when you realize life's tougher than you think
Should you receive, yourself
Only when you sacrifice yourself for someone else

You know sometimes you got to drop the gloves
If someone could cause a threat to something or someone you love
And when I got knocked down I learned to get back up
Cause I learned to keep my head up and I learned to pass the puck

I learned lesson after lesson in the school of the backyard rink

Like a lesson in the school of life in a form of the backyard rink
It took stitches on my brother's mouth to make me learn to think
And what you've never have you'll never miss
Other kids had lots of other good things I guess

Other times it can be worse
Sometimes when you miss someone you love gets hurt
When you shoot, you got to hit the net
Well that day I learned a lesson I would soon forget

Well I wished that they were mine
When I looked upon the stitches round his mouth
He was fine
Well I skated as I waited his return from the hospital
Caught my brother in the teeth
But the puck flew high and wide and it missed the net
I was aiming at the win
I was looking at the crossbar when I took my shot

About my backyard rink
And I did a lot of thinking in my bed
But somewhere long the line a kid has got to learn to think
And what you've never have you'll never miss
Other kids had lots of other good things I guess

And wonder how the night could be so still
But I couldn't help but peek over the window sill
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
And I hear mom say close your eyes, it's time to sleep

And there'd be fresh ice on the backyard rink tomorrow

And I took my shot, through the shout I heard my mother calling me
And the crowd was going crazy, time was running out
Off the point, looking for the win
Well the score was all tied up and I was breaking in
