friday night butterflies
like clockwork they´d arive
little chill in an october sky
nervous till the kickoff came

four quarters win or lose
spent saturdays black and blue
but it was what i loved to do
and it was more than just a game

it was my life and it was fun
another season of my life is done
another race i´m glad i got to run
another chapter of my life is over
no i´m never gonna feel like that again
time´s rushin by me like the wind
never be as young as i was then
no i´m never gonna feel like that again

practiced dancin´ in my garage
two left feet and a white corsage
daddy let me borrow the dodge
and said don´t bring er´ home on empty

i swung by and picked up cindy lou
took her to the prom for a dance or two
then we drove down to the water blue
and that´s where she kissed me

chorus

got a call one july day
cindy lou was in that way
i had a big decision to make
and i couldn´t take it lightly

first i thought of leaving town
but i couldn´t let our families down
now i´m out here throwin this ball around
with a boy that looks just like me

it´s my life and it´s sure fun
another season of my life´s begun
another race i´m glad i get to run
another chapter of my life i´m writin
no i´m never gonna feel like this again
time´s rushin by me like the wind
gotta grab each moment that i can
cause i´m never gonna feel like this again
