Blades Of Steel Lyrics

Those cold December mornings I'd come running back from
my home
Headed on down to old Fedder's Pond, I knew I wouldn't
be alone
Eight kids from the neighbourhood all dressed and ready
to go
Dropped the puck upon the ice, there would be a mighty
show

I wanna be a hockey star

We'd play until the sun went down or until we started a
fight
And all of us neighbourhood kids argueing who was right
Always the next morning we'd be shooting the old puck
around
Talking about our heros and leaving this little town

Because I wanna be a hockey star
I wanna lead the way like a Rocket Richard
I wanna have my own upper deck hockey card
Showing blades of steel on me

I was playing Midget Triple 'A' in this little town
I was having fun out on the ice I was beating everybody
down
A junior scout was watching and he offered me a shot
Headed on down to kamloops saying "Buddy thanks alot!"

I wanna be a hockey star

I was playing nearly every game and working them on the boards
The other teams all hated me, all the fans would roar
they said better than Wayne Gretzgy, well better than
Brett Hull
Hell even better than Mario I'll be better than them
all

Because I'm gonna be a hockey star
I'm gonna lead the way like a Rocket Richard
I'm gonna have my own upper deck hockey card
Showing blades of steel on me

It's minus twenty outside me and my buddies are back at
the pond
I broke my leg in Red Deer now my whole career fell
down
But I can still do up the laces, these old blades still
get me by
Playing great Canadian hockey under a great Canadian
sky

Because I could have been a hockey star
I could have led the way like a Rocket Richard
I could have had my own upper deck hockey card
showing blades of steel on
I could have been a hockey star
I could have led the way like a Rocket Richard
I could have had my own upper deck hockey card
Showing blades of steel on me
showing blades of steel on me
