Hockey Skates Lyrics


Goin' 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, you know, I don't even order anymoreI 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 skatesYou can meet me at ten thirty
And I won't be there, I'll be gone
We can talk like we are friends, goin' over it all again
Talkin' about everything I am doin' wrongDo you wish your nose was longer
So you'd have an excuse not to see past it?
Do you wish 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 skatesYou can meet me at ten thirty
Well, I won't be there, I'll be gone
We can talk like we are friends, goin' over it all again
Talkin' about everything I am doin' wrongAnd 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 skatesGoing 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
