Cochrane, Tom - Victory Day Lyrics






She's got her reasons, she's got her pride
Though she's beaten black and blue
One fine day she'll be walking outside
She'll turn to see what is true
Won't draw no curtains, be hiding no way
On that Victory Day

She's stuck it out, she's hung in tough
She won't be running away
He says it will change, but each time it does
It starts up all over again
He wants the thunder, the crashing of waves
The guts, the glory of victory parades
She says it just never happens that way
On that Victory Day

Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day

In the sun, walk by the water, in the sun
She says life isn't big, not it's kind of small
Made of small moments, they're all strung together
If you don't look out, you might miss them all

Then it's just passed you on by like the weather
He wants that thunder and crashing of waves
The guts, the glory of victory parades
She says I'll give you much more than you'll take
On that Victory Day

Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day

And he's gotten so close and he won't let it fade
And the reasons still haunt you for the mistakes you made
She says let it go, 'cause it's time for a change
But he's still a little boy trapped between pages
Time to walk away from him
She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change"

Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day, on that Victory Day
...

  5. E.... N....

    If life is only made up of small moments to sum up the rest. That if one is not careful that they then miss them. Then there is no such victory day for anyone, save but a miserable screaming death just a little while later, after they expend their careful observations, just to prolong those useless little moments of each others lives.

  6. e.... ....

    Love this guy.

    K.... ....

    Yeah, tell me what the happened to it? I remember the BC of old with the campfires, beers, and righteous rock riffs & bitchin guitar solos; now it full of safe space ultra liberal douchenozzles who are allergic to the fires, beer, and music and/or are offended to the core at the rest?

    K.... ....

    Tom C is absolute GOLD

  21. P.... M....

    Tom Cochrane's old music is legendary. Best played on road trips.

    P.... M....

    his best of album, 60 minutes with tom cochrane and red rider never leaves my pickup. best road trip music ever.

  22. E.... ....

    Oh Canada!

  23. c.... k....

    god is wakeing every one up hes waking me up and my kids too soon bee time for them to be restored back to jesus

  24. H.... ....

    That's because he is Canadian.

  25. D.... J....

    I totally agree!!

  26. K.... E....

    He is appreciated in savannah Georgia also, who has a problem?

    K.... E....

    Kevin Edwards
    No one , my friend.

  27. J.... S....

    @8888888060580 I agree!!!

  30. t.... p....

    im in love with the song and im a teen and this beats all the shitty music that is on today

    t.... p....

    was pretty cool cruising around in my old barricuda when these tunes were coming out !!!

  31. E.... ....

    After Sid screamed IGGY and then did what Sid does does best...seconds later the chorus of this song should have thundered from the Vancouver arena!

  32. w.... ....

    What a voice... he is so underrated... such a national treasure... Thanks for all the great music Tom!

  33. A.... ....

    Tom writes some beauty "anthem" tunes..they sound like tributes to guys marching home from war, or Stanley Cup winners, but the songs are really about women stuck in relationships with guys who refuse to grow up.

  34. y.... ....

    Seen the best Tom Cochran Concert ever Mattawa Voyageur Days 2010!!!
    Come on by Way North of Toronto

  35. M.... ....

    @40monkeyman Ha! His account is closed. Couldn't happen to a nicer piece of dogcrap.
    I don't support war, in part because seeing our youth come back in body bags is the last thing I want.

  36. R.... ....

    Good! Some DJ's know what's appropriate :)

  37. R.... ....

    If this song wasn't played yesterday on the last day of the winter Olympics in Vancouver after the men's hockey gold medal win then it should have been! :)

  38. r.... ....

    Awsome! Thank you :)

  39. M.... ....

    @cletortain Can you believe it has been 20+ years? I spent the first 20 years of my life less than an hour from the border and grew up on this! When I talk about Tom with anyone south of Syracuse they're clueless. It's a damned shame.

  40. d.... ....

    toms the shit!! canada needs to wake up too lol

  41. M.... ....

    This guy doesn't get half as much credit as he should. The rest of America needs to wake up and realize that Tom's talents go far beyond "Life is a Highway"

  42. A.... ....

    I'll second that.

  43. d.... ....

    u vote nothing loser

  44. t.... ....

    screw you idiot. Thats the most disgusting thing Ive ever heard.

  45. A.... ....

    Salute them for me dude!

  46. t.... ....

    You know it Brother. I support the troops, and am excited to be in the capital for remeberance day this year!

  47. A.... ....

    It's the same anthem-spirit as Remembrance Day, but not , I don't think, "a near cover". Great to hear Canadian boys writing "kick-ass" stuff like this!

  48. A.... ....

    Damn straight dude. Our guys have been doing it from Ypres to Dieppe to Kabul.

  49. m.... ....

    I prefer Big League myself .. is it just me or does this seem like a near-cover of Rememberence Day by Bryan Adams?

  50. S.... C....

    Played golf with him yesterday. He's a great down to earth guy. He can play too.

  51. S.... G....

    Met tom cochrane yesterday at the sound of music festival, really cool guy, got my picture with him and he even took my bands contact card

  52. m.... ....

    i am jealous also!

  53. H.... D....

    I've met Tom actually once. He came to my high school and we presented him with an award for being an influential Canadian. His voice is wonderful!

  54. P.... ....

    Great song
