Two Homes, One Shining Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in ’67, Minnesota took the ice, Green and gold across the jerseys, northern pride was shining bright. The North Stars skated into town, gave the state a team to cheer, Through the hard checks and the long cold nights, their faithful fans stayed near. [Pre-Chorus] From the old Met Center, hear the whole crowd sing, Every season brought a story, every face wore green. [Chorus] Sing it loud, sing it proud, let the good news ring, From the North Star to the Lone Star, hockey’s got a song to sing! Minnesota made the memory, Dallas carried on, Two homes, one shining star, and the game rolls on! [Verse 2] In ’81 the team went south, to Bloomington they came, Still the North Stars, still that northern heart, still chasing down the game. In ’91 they reached the Final, brought their fans along, A seven-game fight with Pittsburgh—Minnesota sang its song. Then came ’93, a change of course, a new horizon wide, The North Stars headed southward, taking history for the ride. [Pre-Chorus] Pack the bags, keep the colors, let the old cheers stay, A new city’s waiting, and a new rink’s on the way. [Chorus] Sing it loud, sing it proud, let the good news ring, From the North Star to the Lone Star, hockey’s got a song to sing! Minnesota made the memory, Dallas carried on, Two homes, one shining star, and the game rolls on! [Verse 3] In ’93 they landed in Dallas, green and black in view, A fresh beginning in Texas, with a faithful crowd that grew. Then the year 1999 brought a season fans recall: A Stanley Cup in Dallas—what a celebration, y’all! Mike Modano led the charge, and the whole team stood tall, The Cup came home to Texas, and the city heard the call. [Bridge] Through new names and new arenas, through the years that came and went, The star still shines above the rink, wherever fans are sent. From Minnesota’s northern stands to Dallas cheering strong, Different chapters, shared beginnings—come on, sing along! [Final Chorus] Sing it loud, sing it proud, let the good news ring, From the North Star to the Lone Star, hockey’s got a song to sing! Minnesota made the memory, Dallas carries on, Two homes, one shining star, and the game rolls on! [Outro] Green and gold, victory green, every generation, North Stars to Dallas Stars—one hockey celebration! Raise your hands and sing it on: the star keeps shining bright, From ’67 to 2026, we’re cheering through the night!
