Hockey Skates

Going down in the same old town
Down the same street to the same bar
And the same old faces saying hi and I don't care
Going down in the same old bar
And I know I don't even order anymore

I am so sick of consequence and the look on your face
I am tired of playing defense
And I don't even have hockey skates
Don't even have hockey skates

You can meet me at ten thirty
But I won't be there I'll be gone
We can talk like we are friends
Going over it all again
Talking about everything I am doing wrong

Do you wish that your nose was longer
So you'd have an excuse not to see past it
Do you wish that the lights were brighter in the city that you live

I am so sick of consequence and the look on your face
I am tired of playing defense
I don't even have hockey skates
Don't even have hockey skates

You can meet me at ten thirty
But I won't be there I'll be gone
We can talk like we are friends
Going over it all again
Talking about everything I am doing wrong

Do you think your boys club will crumble
Just because of a loud-mouthed girl
Just because of a loud-mouthed girl
I don't even have hockey skates

Going down in the same old town
Down the same street to the same bar
And the same old faces saying hi and I don't care

Comment
"I always wished that I had played hockey, even though I grew up overseas. That song captures the feeling of those monday nights when the boy's club would play on the neighborhood rinks, and I never got asked to go!" [vh1.com]
