12th & Gibson

My old gym don't come alive anymore Ever since they put that chain on the front door But not long ago oh how it used to shine Home of the Hillbilly pride When I was growing up my only dream Was wearing that jersey making the team I didn't know it them but I do today We learned more about life than a game At the corner of 12th & Gibson Where the purple banners hang And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor Stood more than what set in the trophy case Games were won and lost but lives were changed Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson Coach had his own ways of bringing out our best We would've tried to walk on water if he'd ever ask But his temper ran short when we ran something wrong His love was tough but he poured it on At the corner of 12th & Gibson Where the purple banners hang And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor Stood more than what set in the trophy case Games were won and lost but lives were changed Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson And oh what I'd give to turn the hands of time Relive one last night on that court Cause there's only one place on this earth I've ever hated But loved even more At the corner of 12th & Gibson Where the purple banners hang And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor Still stand for more than what sets in the trophy case Games were won and lost but lives were changed Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson
