Five Name Pal

Verse 1

Pal

Check the clock

Tie the laces tight

Walsh Westlake Winn Reis-Booth

Sprinting down the gravel path

Lungs burn

Legs churn

Metal fence is humming under heavy grey sky

Dime in his pocket

Rust on the rim

Chorus

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Got a heavy name

But he’s playing short

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Verse 2

Bounce

Low and loud

Concrete teeth are biting boots

Pal needs a win today

Needs a win

Needs a way

Sweat slick on the leather ball

Five names for one man

One man for the hoop

Gritty

Cold

Nothing left to prove but the spin of the globe

Chorus

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Got a heavy name

But he’s playing short

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Bridge

Walsh is waiting

Westlake is watching

Winn is wanting

Booth is broken

Reis is rising

Let it fly

Watch it fly

Watch it fly

Guitar Solo

Chorus

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Got a heavy name

But he’s playing short

He’s heading to the court

He’s heading to the court

Outro

Five names

One hoop

Pal

The boy

The boy

The boy

Gone

Just gone
