lyrics

Great White Hope

back in our old neighborhood
a world now so remote
when the kid danced round the ring
we felt too proud to gloat

the kid walked with his head held high
he’d never had one cut
he could feel our eyes on him
a six pack for a gut

three cheers for the great white hope
the world so right when he jumped rope
my daddy beat up from the plant
said never even think you can’t

we escaped the drenching heat
each august at the lake
when he knocked some sucker out
we felt the tension break

i was there the night he fell
those dreads too quick and tough
we walked home in silence
our faith not near enough

three cheers for the great white hope
the world so right when he jumped rope
my daddy beat up from the plant
said never even think you can’t

yeah those were the best of times
let’s drink to way back when
we knew where we were headed
not so much since then

three cheers for the great white hope
the world so right when he jumped rope
my daddy beat up from the plant
said never even think you can’t
