A Thirteen Goal Breakdown [Part 1 of My Soccer Trilogy]

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

Structure Scheme: Accent points align for all 3 verses

VERSE 1

In the year of 20-1-9,

On the green grass so Fran-cais.

The whole world watched,

As football fe-lines,

Changed how we view soccer to-day.

CHORUS

Breakdown! Breakdown!

Lift a glass and make a toast,

To the gals who scored the most.

They deserve a thirteen goal...

Breakdown.

VERSE 2

When they ran the friggin' score up,

Whiners called for a lynch mob.

The game they played,

Sug-gested one thing:

That scoring goals is a girls job.

CHORUS

Breakdown! Breakdown!

Lift a glass and make a toast,

To the gals who scored the most.

They deserve a thirteen goal...

Breakdown.

BRIDGE #1

Some say one shouldn't celebrate,

A single goal scored following 8,

And that doing so is a blunder.

Pushing forward defines "Risk-Reward",

Favor that play and never be bored,

Yeah, thirteen is a lucky number.

BRIDGE #2 - THE Instrumental Breakdown

VERSE 3

You won't care who suffers A loss.

When the of-fense earns it's keep.

A game that's much,

Like watchin' la-crosse.

Where defense and keepers come cheap.

CHORUS

Breakdown! Breakdown!

Lift a glass and make a toast,

To the gals who scored the most.

They deserve a thirteen goal...

Breakdown.

BRIDGE #3 - Obviously Very Optional

Now, don't get me wrong,

Sure, my love is strong,

For the awesome play of the men.

In that, I cannot be alone,

But when offered testosterone.

I reply: "Thanks, no. I brought my own...

Estrogen."

CHORUS

Breakdown! Breakdown!

Lift a glass and make a toast,

To the gals who scored the most.

They deserve a thirteen goal...

Breakdown.
