I know that you think that I should just retire
I've been told that.

In 1997, I made a big exit
But then I came back

I've never played a complete season in my career
But come back to play again

I may go down on the ice
But I won't hang my skates up and retire
There will be no white flag in my future
I'm devoted, and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction
When I left the Penguins

And they cause nothing but trouble
I understand if you won't see them play again

And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Than I'm sure that that makes sense

I may go down on the ice
But I won't hang my skates up and retire
There will be no white flag in my future
I'm devoted, and always will be

And when I play, which I'm sure I will
All that I've done will be here still
Won't let it pass, and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on

I may go down on the ice
But I won't hang my skates up and retire
There will be no white flag in my future
I'm devoted, and always will be

I may go down on the ice
But I won't hang my skates up and retire
There will be no white flag in my future
I'm devoted, and always will be

I may go down on the ice
But I won't hang my skates up and retire
There will be no white flag in my future

Number sixty-six forever!
