Lance Carpenter - 12th & Gibson

My old gym don't come alive anymore
Ever since they put that chain on the front door
But not long ago oh how it used to shine
Home of the Hillbilly pride

When I was growing up my only dream
Was wearing that jersey making the team
I didn't know it them but I do today
We learned more about life than a game

At the corner of 12th & Gibson
Where the purple banners hang
And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor
Stood more than what set in the trophy case
Games were won and lost but lives were changed
Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson

Coach had his own ways of bringing out our best
We would've tried to walk on water if he'd ever ask
But his temper ran short when we ran something wrong
His love was tough but he poured it on

At the corner of 12th & Gibson
Where the purple banners hang
And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor
Stood more than what set in the trophy case
Games were won and lost but lives were changed
Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson

And oh what I'd give to turn the hands of time
Relive one last night on that court
Cause there's only one place on this earth I've ever hated
But loved even more

At the corner of 12th & Gibson
Where the purple banners hang
And the hero's that were born on that old hardwood floor
Still stand for more than what sets in the trophy case
Games were won and lost but lives were changed
Many men were made at the corner of 12th & Gibson
