High Step

歌曲歌詞

You can't make it to heaven with a high step

I played both sides of the field

I was better at defense

They put me out for special teams

The college league wasn't impressed

But the press called me a work horse

I ignored it like the crowd

I had calories to burn off

And I made my parents proud

A jersey with a number that concealed faulty equipment

A cog in the machine but the team saw me as different

Old beyond my years

My chest hair was like a carpet sweater

They made me leader

I wore that C like a scarlet letter

Whether hot or cold

I had to avoid the loss

And play better then the competitor

Whether or not I won the coin toss

I watched it flip in slow motion

While I considered the odds

But it's a sin to gamble

So I left the risk to God

We had a locker room prayer

Where we all lobbied the lord

I pretended to know the words

Bowed my head and mouthed along

That was my way then

I was a slave to the play pen

Where I tried to make friends

And couldn't wait to say "Amen"

Then hit the field
