This is the story of a man, a band and a game

The crowd had all left, the ending had been framed

It was winner take all and the outcome was never in doubt

It was the bottom of the ninth, two outs to go

We stepped up to the line and started to feel the flow

We knew right then that the headline was about to be changed

Call it a comeback, call it the big surprise

A comeback brings tears to the eyes

A comeback, a triumph of the soul

A comeback some dreams refuse to fold

They had counted us out but there's been a turnabout

It's a comeback, all hail the king

The sun was setting, it was the very last stand

We all write our own scripts, the future in our hands

It was all or nothing and all started looking better to me

In a flashback, I remember the practice and the pain

A young man's visions of the fortune and the fame

We had one more shot and the great ones never look back

It's a comeback, brought you to your knees

It's a comeback, listen to the big lady sing

It's a comeback, were you the last to know about the comeback

Well, you can tune into our late great show

The boys made good in the end, let the party begin

Call it a comeback

Ah, call me anything you want but call me

In the end I remember what I learned as a boy

Your heart is always bigger than the size of any toy

It's a long road to the top but it's shorter if you party along the way

I gotta call 'em like I see 'em and I see 'em coming fast

But I'm telling these jokes and that means I'm laughing last

We're rocking this house so hard I can hear the people saying

I can hear 'em say, "Did you hear about the comeback of the native sons"?

A comeback, got the ring of number one

A comeback, tell the girls to clear the track

'Cause it's a comeback

Ah, the boys are comin' back

They had counted us out but there's been a turnabout

It's a comeback

Ah, a comeback, brought you to your knees

It's a comeback, listen to the fat lady sing

It's a comeback, were you the last to know about the comeback?

Well you can tune into our late great show

The boys made good in the end, let the party begin

Call it a comeback

Ah yeah comeback, comeback

Ah, comeback, comeback

Tell the girls to clear the track

And we're comin' on back

It's a comeback

Comeback, comeback

Comeback, comeback
