Hey y’all, hey y’all, hey, hey y’all Barhoppers, churchgoers Marlboro Light smokers Blue collar, red voters Population 1,009 Past year’s cheerleaders Old men fill the bleachers Skeptics, true believers all Gathered on a Friday night Singing to the stars and stripes We’re a drinking town with a football problem With two main things we all have in common We love ‘em both and don’t want to solve ‘em We’re a drinking town with a football problem Hey y’all, singin’, hey y’all, hey, hey y’all Barn burners, nail biters Shift workers, firefighters Prom queens, outsiders All livin’ for the love of the game We still tell the same old story Relive former glory Went to state in nineteen-four We got a trophy in the school hallway The kids pass it by each day We’re a drinking town with a football problem With two main things we all have in common We love ‘em both and don’t want to solve ‘em We’re a drinking town with a football problem Hey, hey When we win, we celebrate And when we lose, we commiserate Win or lose, we tie one on We’re a drinking town with a football problem With two main things we all have in common We love ‘em both and don’t want to solve ‘em We’re a drinking town with a football problem Hey, say, hey, hey y’all Hey, hey y’all
