For my pal Lisa (a fellow childhood basketball addict) and
for schoolyard dribblers everywhere - I always dreamed of
wearing John Havlicek's number for the Boston Celtics
Verse 1
Feel the ball in my hands, it’s solid, and real as a rock
a couple dribbles on the pavement, take the shot, beat the clock
I can’t miss here in my silence, in practice, all goes well,
but with the game on the line, it seems like it all, just goes straight to hell
Chorus
there’s few seconds of daylight left
shoot now while you’ve got the chance, it’s in your hands
and maybe if we’re lucky we’ll hear that net,
ripple in the dark, (swish)
score the winner in my hoop dreams of love, at the park
Verse 2
There’s a chain link fence up, around this playground, and I let nobody in
I was never good at rebounding after you, but I’d try it once again
some say the best defense, is to never, never let em’ get too close
once in awhile they might get lucky, and toss one in from downtown,
chances are they’ll miss most
Chorus
Bridge
step up to the line, and take your best aim
cause win or lose it’s getting late, and this one’s for game
Verse 3
Back in school on the playground, I missed a few, cause I’d always look out for you
to see if you were watching my best Havlicek moves
Chorus

Besides being my bandmate in Beyond Borders, Lisa is an amazing all around talent - singer, songwriter, musician, human. Check out "Camelot" - one of my alltime faves. Andrew McKnight
I miss my friend from West Virginia's Cheat River Valley deeply. Thankfully, we have his amazing songs to savor - celebrations of the Mountain State's troubled landscapes. Great guitar & singing! Andrew McKnight
