The Oils Back In Town Lyrics - Singles - Corb Lund

They got the Coliseum rockin' and they're making quite a din 

Singin' "here we go Oilers, here we go" again 

There ain't no louder building than the house of ninety-nine 

Got the echoes of the dynasty a burnin' in their minds 

You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around. 

'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town, yeah! 

Skatin' quick and passin' pretty, fastest ice around the league 

The goalie stacks 'em up and makes a save you can't believe 

Elbows in the corners and she's getting kinda rough 

But I know we've got some boys that ain't afraid to drop the gloves 

You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around 

'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town, yeah! 

All they got is broken noses, missin' teeth and blackened eyes 

Beards and blood and guts and stitches keepin' playoff hopes alive 

And the spirit of the boys from the Eighties in their eyes 

Come on and say it with me, say it "Five cups, five!" 

You better cheer 'em on, 'cause they're better than the rest 

They got the blue and orange colours of the Oilers on their chests, yeah! 

Well, I got me a couple tickets, take my baby to the game 

'Cause the road trip's over, winnin' every game away 

Don't really need my radio, but bring it anyway 

Catch the skipper, Roddy Phillips, call the play-by-play 

You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around 

'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town.
