If you left your holding shoulder pads On Friday morning before cla** And you felt like you just been reborn If you rode with your buddies to school that day In one big old truck going down the highway Got to school, climbed out wearing uniforms And that pep rally cranking up the drum line The cheerleaders ain’t never looked so fine And you think, “Hell, 10 games ain’t enough” Volunteers made food before the big game But we were too nervous and nobody ate Is it all coming back, have you felt this way? Then you probably played football You know how good it feels To see the coin toss on the 50 yard line And the home team take the field You probably played football No you just can’t let it go If they called your number right now You’d be ready to throw your helmet on Almost game time, you can’t wait to tear ’em up It feels like thunder in the stadium Yeah man we played football If with every year that goes by You ran a faster 40 time Than what you said you ran last year If you’d give anything to go out for one pa** The head coach telling you to hit that gra** He’s been retired ten years but still hates my a**, yeah And you probably played football You know how good it feels To see the coin toss on the 50 yard line And the home team take the field You probably played football No you just can’t let it go If they called your number right now You’d be ready to throw your helmet on Almost game time, you can’t wait to tear ’em up It feels like thunder in the stadium Yeah man we played football If you stood there as the time ran out On an empty field one knee on the ground And you couldn’t believe that it was over And the last thing you ever wanted to do Is head back inside that locker room ‘Cause this is what you love and what you’re born to do And you probably played football No you just can’t let it go If they called your number right now You’d be ready to throw your helmet on Almost game time, you can’t wait to tear ’em up It feels like thunder in the stadium Hell yeah, we played football
