BOYS OF FALL

Elbert High School Football play well, play hard and play smart and you will have a great year!

Snippet

It's so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs... we should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics.  Snoop Dogg

Scripture

Saul and Jonathan— in life they were loved and admired, and in death they were not parted. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 2 Samuel 1:23 NIV

When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass

I'm back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulderpads

Standin' in the huddle, listenin' to the call

Fans goin' 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 fighting back them butterflies

It's calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball"

And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash, it's slinging 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

We're the boys of fall

In little towns like mine that's all they got

Newspaper clippings fill the coffeeshops

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 fighting back them butterflies

It's calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball"

And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash, it's slinging 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 fighting back them butterflies

It's calling in the air, "Alrighty, yes sir, we want the ball"

And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash, it's slinging 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

We're the boys of fall

We're the boys of fall

Sentence Prayer

Dear Lord, the battles we go through life,

We ask for a chance that's fair

A chance to equal our stride,

A chance to do or dare

If we should win, let it be by the code,

Faith and Honor held high

If we should lose, we'll stand by the road,

And cheer as the winners go by

Day by Day, we get better and better!

Til' we can't be beat...WON'T BE BEAT! Amen
