I typed these up to send to some friends. figured I might as well post them here in case anoyone else wants to have them or pass them along to fellow Cub fans...



don't let anyone say, that it's just a game.
for I've seen other teams, and it's never the same.
when you're born in Chicago, you're blessed and you're healed,
the first time you walk, into Wrigley Field.

our heroes wear pinstripes, heroes in blue,
give us the chance to feel like heroes too.
forever we'll win, and if we should lose, we know...
someday we'll go all the way, hey...someday we'll go all the way.

one with The Cubs, with The Cubs we're in love.
yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs.
we are not fairweather but foulweather fans.
like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands.

there's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard.
the same one I stared at as a kid keeping score.
a world full of greed, I could never want more.
and someday we'll go all the way, hey...someday we'll go all the way.

and here's to the men and the legends we know.
teaching us faith and giving us hope.
united we stand and united we'll fall,
down to our knees the day we win it all.

yeah Ernie Banks said "let's play two!"
but did he mean 200 years?
in the same ballpark, the diamond, our jewel,
the home of our joy and our tears

keeping traditions and wishes made new,
the place where our grandfathers, fathers they grew.
a spiritual feeling, if I ever knew.
and if you ain't been, I am sorry for you.

when the day comes, with that last winning run
and I'm crying and covered in beer.
I'll look to the sky and know I was right.
someday we'll go all the way, hey...someday we'll go all the way.

thanks for taking the time to do this
i was wondering where to find the lyrics

The wife just called to let me know that the local Chicago radio station just played this. I think it was 101.9. Not sure of any other details at the moment.

Ed had mentioned this would be put out for public consumption towards the end of the season if the song went well during the last night of the tour. I'm sure he said the same at night 1.

I'm sure a copy will soon be avail for all to hear

wow! thanks for doing this! this song is just so much fun

Too bad it's about the Cubs though..

If there's any baseball franchise that I'd like to see win it all, its definitely the Cubs. There was a great documentary on HBO a while back.

yeah, it is listed several times on XRT's playlist as well.

let's hope this gets a release for charity or something.

heard it on q101, the loop, and xrt. one dj said it came in a cd case with the wrigley ivy, and a note from ed describing his intro to ernie banks.

the soundboard sounded absolutely glorious. simply glorious.

I just recorded this off of XRT. last time I recorded a song off of radio, I think it was Who You Are. played the hell out of that tape.

enjoy, and go cubbies!

Thanks given2fly23 for sharing!

I think this song is really great and they can play it for the next hundred years....

This is from night one, yes?

How in the world can you tell the difference between night 1 and 2?

Thank you sir!. Like I said...glorious!

I can't tell, but I remember night two being a little rough around the edges. Maybe it's a bit of both?

very cool- thanks

definitely night 2.

night 1: hold our heads high as the underdog
night 2: hold our head high as the underdogs

FM: hold our head high as the underdogs

= night 2

It's better than that, he should have released the whole show for how good this sounds.
