Linesmen to the left of me
Linesmen to my right
Everybody watching
4th and down
Did I make the 1st or not?
I’m a football player
Tried and true
Get out of my way
Give me my due.
I’ve been bred
For this game
Lived and breathed it
All life long
Some chase the Game
Until the Pros
I played High School
Now I’m tthru.
My son will play
He’ll be bred into the game
And I’ll sit in the Stands
While I watch him
Until he’s thru.
The game won’t ever die
It’s been here too long
But I’ll sit in a lounge chair
Humming a football tune
And when you die
In Heaven
They’ll play football too.
