You rushed in like a quarterback carrying the ball Like a rookie I fell for the fake play Hook, line, and sinker, I foolishly bought it all It seemed like a game that started out fair Fans all abuzz claiming "This is our year!" Now the bleachers stand empty, not a soul left to cheer Nothing left but to turn off the stadium lights On a field that was once so hopeful and bright Off to the locker rooms both teams retreat One to lick their wounds as the other celebrates the championship repeat In glory you'll go on to play for more teams While this career-ending injury is killing my dreams

The Quarterback Sneak
You rushed in like a quarterback carrying the ball Like a rookie I fell for the fake play Hook, line, and sinker, I foolishly bought it all It seemed like a game that started out fair Fans all abuzz claiming "This is our year!" Now the bleachers stand empty, not a soul left to cheer Nothing left but to turn off the stadium lights On a field that was once so hopeful and bright Off to the locker rooms both teams retreat One to lick their wounds as the other celebrates the championship repeat In glory you'll go on to play for more teams While this career-ending injury is killing my dreams
