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
