Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song as a long suffering fan of the Chicago Cubs but the song works well for all sports fans who support teams that always seem to lose.

Verse
The life of a Cubs fan is filled with pleasure and pain
Wins bring jubilation, losses bring shame
The Cubbies can't win 'em all but we hope they win most
When all hope seems lost, we remember this toast.

Chorus
There's always next year, there's always next year
We won't get discouraged unless we run out of beer
It may take a season to find a reason to cheer
If it takes longer, there's always next year
If it takes longer, there's always next year

Verse
Sometimes the Cubbies can't do anything wrong
Winning comes easy and emotions are strong
Then something happens and the Cubs fall apart
We wait for next year when a new season starts

Chorus
There's always next year, there's always next year
We won't get discouraged unless we run out of beer
It may take a season to find a reason to cheer
If it takes longer, there's always next year
If it takes longer, there's always next year

Verse
Cub stars shine bright until the team starts to fade
Close only counts when you throw hand grenades
There's no rhyme or reason but one thing is clear
If the Cubs blow the season, there's always next year

Chorus
There's always next year, there's always next year
We won't get discouraged unless we run out of beer
It may take a season to find a reason to cheer
If it takes longer, there's always next year
If it takes longer, there's always next year

See You Next Year....
