Friday night Beneath the lights The boys are set to go The scouts are out there watching It's time they got a show
Football in a small town It's religion out of church To find something open Friday night You'd really have to search The busses all are lined up Down the street around the school Alumni selling t-shirts With old logos by the pool
There's a game that rivals football That you can't see from the stands It's make out time beneath the bleachers While the fans are clapping hands No flags for interference Off sides, no way not here The players don't wear protection And in between they're drinking beer
The quarterback he steals the show Making passes on a line The college scouts are hovering That must be a good sign The smell of deep fried everything It lingers in the air There's flasks of Jim Beam passed about without a single care
The band performs a drumline Keeping beat for those below The ones not playing football The kids hidden from the show Each Friday night it happens Two rivals meet in church And somewhere beneath the bleachers Some poor kids left in the lurch
There's a game that rivals football That you can't see from the stands It's make out time beneath the bleachers While the fans are clapping hands No flags for interference Off sides, no way not here The players don't wear protection And in between they're drinking beer
