Dusty Drake - The 12th Man Lyrics

The 12th Man ( Dusty Drake / Steve Yurjevich )

The Lord loves the Steeler fans
He sent Big Ben to the promised land
He stands so tall behind the offensive line
Any guy that throws like that well he's a good friend of mine

We're baptized in beer and here to testify
Willie Parker's wearin' wings, just look at him fly
And Jeff Reed is on the Master's plan
'Cause you know the Lord loves the Steeler fans

Well I ain't a preachin' man but I need you to listen
There's a couple things that the whole league's missin'
A solid running game and a big strong D
That's the only sure way to get a victory

I know the truth hurts but it needs to be said
Hines Ward can catch a pass and take it upside your head
So don't yinz worry, goin' to Super Bowl heaven
They're gonna get a Six and then we'll shoot for Number Seven

'Cause

The Lord loves the Steeler fans
He sent Troy Polamalu to the promised land
He plays behind the best defensive line
Any man that hits like that well he's a good friend of mine

We're baptized in beer and here to testify
Every quarterback better run for dear life
Or Harrison and Woodley gonna hit you again
'Cause you know the Lord loves the Steeler fans

Now if you hate on the Steelers you're livin' your life all wrong
Lightning's gonna strike you down before too long
If you're looking for a savior and your team needs delivered
We can cleanse you in the waters of the mighty Three Rivers

The Steeler history's clear, just look at their past
They hit you in the mouth and knock you right on your --well--
We bleed Black and Gold with Keisel, Smith, and Hampton,
They eat up running backs like a big Primanti sandwich

And

The Lord loves the Steeler fans
Nobody travels better all across this land
No cheerleaders, we've got the Terrible Towel
Myron Cope would sure be proud

We're all baptized in beer and here to testify
Our city's made of steel and American pride
Everybody knows that we got the 12th man
'Cause the Lord loves the Steeler fans

Yeah

The Lord loves the Steeler fans
Nobody travels better all across this land
No cheerleaders, we've got the Terrible Towel
Myron Cope would sure be proud

We're all baptized in beer and here to testify
Our city's made of steel and American pride
Everybody knows that we got the 12th man
'Cause the Lord loves the Steeler fans

Yeah

The Lord loves
You know He does!
The Lord loves the Steeler fans
