Kick the Ball Around versuri

Kick the Ball Around lyrics by Colin Buchanan

Verse 1
Riley George was nearly 3
But he loved that soccer field
He’d run along the sideline
While the big boys played for real
But that little guy had urges
That he could not control
So he crossed the line with the wind behind
And scored the winning goal

Chorus
You might’ve bought your ticket
Got the best seat in the ground
But it’s much more fun to be the one
Who kicks the ball around
You might lose your seat on the sidelinе
Might be in for a little pain
But I’d sooner wheezе and skin my knees
Than never play the game

Verse 2
Well, Scotty Ken was a buildin’ man
But he dreams of driving trains
A love of coal & diesel
Was just chugging through his veins
So he sneaked aboard the driver’s cab
Of the 38-0-1
The whistle blew as off it flew
And Scotty had some fun

Chorus
You might’ve bought your ticket
Got the best seat in the ground
But it’s much more fun to be the one
Who kicks the ball around
You might lose your seat on the sideline
Might be in for a little pain
But I’d sooner wheeze and skin my knees
Than never play the game
Play!

Instrumental

Verse 3
Emily Margaret took the plunge
And the training wheels were gone
But could she ever ride her bike
Without those trainers on?
Well the day she wobbled on her way
And overcame her fear
The joy of riding high was worth
Every bump and scrape and tear

Chorus
You might’ve bought your ticket
Got the best seat in the ground
But it’s much more fun to be the one
Who kicks the ball around
You might lose your seat on the sideline
Might be in for a little pain
But I’d sooner wheeze and skin my knees
Than never play the game

You might’ve bought your ticket
Got the best seat in the ground
But it’s much more fun to be the one
Who kicks the ball around
