When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass I´m back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulderpads Standin´ in the huddle, listenin´ to the call Fans goin´ crazy for the boys of fall They didn´t let just anybody in that club
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood To get to wear those game-day jerseys down the hall Kings of the school, man, we´re the boys of fall Well, it´s turn and face the Stars and Stripes, it´s fighting back them butterflies It´s calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball" And it´s knockin´ heads and talkin´ trash, it´s slinging mud and dirt and grass It´s I got your number, I got your back when your back´s against the wall You mess with one man, you got us all We´re the boys of fall In little towns like mine that´s all they got Newspaper clippings fill the coffeeshops The old men will always think they know it all Young girls will dream about the boys of fall
Well, it´s turn and face the Stars and Stripes, it´s fighting back them butterflies It´s calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball" And it´s knockin´ heads and talkin´ trash, it´s slinging mud and dirt and grass It´s I got your number, I got your back when your back´s against the wall You mess with one man, you got us all The boys of fall Well, it´s turn and face the Stars and Stripes, it´s fighting back them butterflies It´s calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball" And it´s knockin´ heads and talkin´ trash, it´s slinging mud and dirt and grass It´s I got your number, I got your back when your back´s against the wall
You mess with one man, you got us all The boys of fall We´re the boys of fall We´re the boys of fall
