Well I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads
Standin' in the huddle, listenin' to the call
Fans going 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 fightin' back them butterflies
It's call it in the air alright
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
It's slingin' 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kenny_chesney/the_boys_of_fall.html ]
In little towns like mine, that's all they got
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops,
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 fightin' back them butterflies
It's call it in the air alright
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
It's slingin' 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 fightin' back them butterflies
It's call it in the air alright,
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
It's slingin 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
I cant listen to this song with out crying bc. It reminds me of a guy i use to like.. Bc he graduated this year.. And he played football and im never gonna see him.. Havnt seen him since football season last year
My son is a senior this year! His last year playing football! All the years i have watched him play, its coming to an end! This song will always have a special place in my heart, no matter where life takes my son, i will have these wonderful memories in my heart, the years he played football & how much it meant to him to be on that team!! I have your back son, now,always & forever!! A love with out end!
