He played in the minors, he was a puck stop

One day he drove into this truck stop

When he saw her above the crowd and the din

And his heart made a noise like a truck you forgot to plug in

She saw him walk in and she thought he was cute

with his hockey hair and his game day suit

She handed him a menu and she smiled in the prettiest way

and her lips wer as red as the jello in the window display

She said please excuse me but do you mind if I ask

aren't you the face I've seen through the mask

their eyes met as she handed him the wonderbread



REFRAIN:

Love hit him

Love hit him

Love hit him like a frozen puck to the head



He was real quiet as he ate his meal

just listenin' to the radio play Rita McNeil

all the while thinking about asking for a date

till he looked at the clock and saw he was gonna be late

He left his heart in that greasy spoon

he had no idea he'd fall in love in Saskatoon

he laced up quick and took a whole lot of blame

and he prayed to god he could keep his mind on the game

One went off the pad

One went off the skates

One went in the top shelf he couldn't concentrate

he didn't give a damn about the goal light flashin' red



REFRAIN



Let five goals in three minutes

what could he do his heart wasn't in it

They put in the backup, the boy got depressed

He quit on the spot and went to get dressed

He drove real fast right back to the diner

Hoping he wasn't too late to find her

Kitchen radio was tuned in to the game

When he ran up beside her and looked at her tag for her name

He said "hey Mabel my name's Dan

I'm a lousy goalie but a real nice man

and I just got a feeling that you and I were meant to be"

She said "alright but I don't get off work until three"

Well they got married I swear it's the truth

The whole wedding party was missing a tooth

He went back to hockey but he's a defenseman instead



REFRAIN (x2)



Like a frozen puck to the head

Like a frozen puck to the head
