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
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
Love hit him
Love hit him
Love hit him like a frozen puck to the head
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
Love hit him
Love hit him
Love hit him like a frozen puck to the head
Love hit him
Love hit him
Love hit him like a frozen puck to the head
Like a frozen puck to the head
Like a frozen puck to the head
