Back Home

© 1970

Back home,
they'll be thinking about us
when we are far away.
Back home,
they'll be really behind us
in every game we play.

They'll share every goal we are scoring.
Out there we can still hear them roaring.
And we'll give all we've got to give,
For the folks back home.

Back home,
They'll be watching and waiting
and cheering every move
Back home,
Though we think we're the greatest
That's what we've got to prove.

Once more, we will meet with the best.
Like before, we'll be put to the test.
Knowing we'll give all we've got to give,
For the folks back home.

They'll see as they're watching and praying.
That we put our hearts in our playing.
We'll fight until the whistle blows,
For the folks back home.
