If You Build It

Lyrics

If you build it, they will come
 Can you remember where that line came from?
 It was a movie
 As I recall it had a baseball theme
 Was it Bull Durham
 Oh, not that old
 You know I think that it had James Earl Jones
 And Kevin Costner, though it wasn't For The Love of The Game
 My brother always says it and he gets this crazy look in his eye
 But I don't want to get involved, brother, I'm just tryin' to get by
 But oh, he's so convincing, what could I be missing this time?
 His mind is overheating and he just keeps repeating this line
 If you build it, they will come
 Think I remember where that line came from
 It was a movie, one that keeps you guessing 'til the end
 Guy has a vision, an awesome one
 It happened when the workaday was done
 Lit up like heaven
 Baseball diamond on his farm
 My brother throws a party every Wednesday at the local town bar
 And if you got a song to sing, then you should probably bring your guitar
 'Cause when everyone is gathered, nowhere else that they'd rather be
 That's when he winks at me and smiles like he did the night we saw that movie
 Yeah, if you build it, they will come
 Yes, I remember where that line came from
 It was a movie, one that everyone out there has seen
 And when the voices, call out to you
 Maybe it's something that you could pursue
 'Cause we're all living, yes, we are living in this field
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
 Oh-oh, whoa-oh
 Oh-whoa, whoa-oh
 Oh-whoa, whoa-oh
 Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
 Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
 ♪
 If you build it, they will come
 Do you remember where that line came from?
