It begins with the first lift,
a summer to train for a god given gift.
All the blood and sweat becoming lessened,
come kickoff, the players would be perfectly conditioned.

Not just anyone can play under the lights,
only men of the school would play on Fridays with no fright.
You’d be surprised of the pain they all go through,
all for the many dreams they wish to pursue.
Many won’t make it to play past high school ball,
the ones with talent and heart will come closest to getting the glory of it all.

It teaches life lessons no other sport can do,
those lessons stay with us, our whole life through.
Warriors that give it all they got to show the fans a good fight,
you won’t find this anywhere else, only under the Friday night lights.
