Testo Glory Bound - James Keelaghan
Testo della canzone Glory Bound (James Keelaghan), tratta dall'album My Skies
Johnny Mac lived near Maple Creek
He was long and lean and tough
A level head and a steady hand
And a wizard with the puck
And once across the blue line
Oh, he'd never let you down
You could tell by the look in his coal-black eyes
That boy was glory bound
He could bring a home town to it's feet
With a goal in overtime
The scouts had pegged him, sure enough
It was just a matter of time
If there was any justice in this world
He'd be picked in the second round
'Cause he had the goods, there was no denying
That boy was glory bound
One afternoon before a game
I stopped by Johnny's place
With my father's car and a feeling in my heart
That night we'd take first place
If there was something that he'd left behind
He'd fetch it back in town
Never dreamt it at the time
That fate would strike him down
Oh, we phoned the Mounties when he didn't show
We found him in a ditch between here and Shaunavon
The roof caved in and it's fifty below
The sirens wail and the blizzard blows
Johnny died young but I grew old
And since that time I've come to think
When I see his name engraved on trophies
Or his picture in a case in the Kinsman's rink
He somehow slipped the pawns of time
He's made himself renowned
And I've started on that slow slide back
But he's forever glory bound
I've started on that slow slide back
But he's forever glory bound
