If You Build It Lyrics & Chords By Air Traffic Controller

If you build it, they will come
Can you remember where that line came from
It was a movie,
As I recall it had a baseball theme

Was it Bull Durham, oh not that old
You know I think that it had James Earl Jones
And Kevin Costner, though it wasn't For The Love of The Game

My brother always says it and he gets this crazy look in his eye
But I don't want to get involved; brother I'm just tryin' to get by
But oh he's so convincing, what could I be missing this time
His mind is overheating and he just keeps repeating his line

If you build it, they will come
Think I remember where that line came from.
It was a movie, one that keeps you guessing til the end
Guy has a vision, an awesome one
It happened when the workaday was done
Lit up like heaven
Baseball diamond on his farm

My brother throws a party every Wednesday at the local town bar
And if you got a song to sing then should probably bring your guitar
Cause when everyone is gathered, no where else that they'd rather be
That's when he winks at me and smiles like he did the night we saw that movie

Yeah if you build it, they will come
Yes I remember where that line came from
It was a movie, one that everyone out there has seen
And when the voices, call out to you
Maybe it's something that you could pursue
Cause we're all living, yes we are living in this field.
