Football Was No Longer

Football Was No Longer

It was a Friday night

And we were in the stands

Eating Frito pies

And listening to the band

Once voted to be captains

But the game was no longer fun

So in the stands we were relaxing

With our girlfriends that had come

The announcers called our names

As if we were still players

But coaches and players the same

No longer noticed or cared

Football had made us stronger

And helped us become young men

But we weren’t players any longer

And found other interests back then

We were glad we had played

And the work that we did

But our girlfriends those days

Helped us really live
