16 Sticks (Humboldt Tribute)

I know how it feels to stand on that blue line Wearing my jersey on a Friday night Family and friends press against the glass Holding their breath with every pass A band of brothers brought together by that crest When the first puck drop to the last playoff win But that all changed on a cold Saskatchewan night Around 5 p.m. on highway 35 And there will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice And picking sides, frozen in time With the banners high under those rafter lights There will always be 16 dreams that get carried on by yellow and green Through every heartbreak, loss, and every hometown win 'Cause nothing will take away those times And those 16 sticks will live forever on ice Sixty minutes at the end of the week And they were humble heroes you could see and believe When passion and faith laced up in those skates That brought the whole town to life with every red light save But there will always be a 16 sticks laying at centre ice And picking sides, frozen in time With the banners high under those rafter lights There will always be 16 dreams that get carried on by yellow and green Through every heartbreak, loss, and every hometown win 'Cause nothing will take away those times And those 16 sticks will live forever on ice No matter how much time passes The wins or the loses I know that they'll be watching (yeah) There will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice And picking sides, frozen in time With the banners high under those rafter lights There will always be 16 dreams that get carried on by yellow and green Through every heartbreak, loss, and every hometown win There will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice And there will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice And there will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice And there will always be 16 sticks laying at centre ice 'Cause nothing will take away those times And those 16 sticks will live forever on ice
