High School Football Friday Night - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper I would this is "Tabbed by Adam Bishop" but there isn't really anything to it. There are just these chords: G - 320033 C - x32010 F - xx3211 Over and over for 7 minutes. Well it's high school football Friday night And that cheerleader's wearing that dress, just a little to tight Well I'm standing in the bleachers Next to that science teacher who I cannot stand And underneath my jacket, I'm harbouring an illegal beer can Yeah some bad eggs that are back behind the stadium smoking home grown And some terminally troubled disturbed youth Are racing around the parking lot in GTOs Listening to Bachman Turner Overdrive, listening to it on the 8-track They got the game on the radio They're both playing at the same time while they're drinking Drinking that Boone's Farm apple wine they stole from the Quick Shop They're in tune with the game but they're too cool to come inside Yeah it's high school football Friday night I said it's high school football Friday night Teenage gladiators in a range war for civic pride And the helmets and the pads are crashing in the cool crisp fall air And the pom-pom girls are checking their hair The referee and the assistant coach are wrestling down in the end zone They didn't interrupt this little state championship Going between 7 and 8 year olds down there in the sand Coach is quoting Jesus, Vince Lombardi, and Robert E. Lee Yeah and the booster club is singing they're chanting they're going "Rah rah ree, kick 'em in the knee Rah rah ras, kick 'em in the other knee" Cheerleaders are throwing these little white footballs Throwing them up into the stands Yeah grown men and women are wrestling for 'em Like they're tickets out of this land Half time, the lights go way down low And the head majorette twirls her flaming baton Twirls it around and around and around Marching band is dancing prancing playing the fight song And we're all standing on our feet we're all singing along This redhead girl she asks me, she says "Mojo? Mojo?" Said "Do you want to go to the dance in the cafeteria after the game?" So there we were dancing low and slow to Bill Dell and the Rondells "May I..." Yeah the high school football hero he's king for a day But being a life insurance salesman lasts forever and make that boy pay The world seems right when the wrong kid goes the right way for 90 yards In the kind of reckless abandonment you usually only see In hurricanes, weddings and bars And for one, weird glorious second, the whole town is united Saying "Touchdown! Touchdown!" Oh yeah Well it's high school football Friday night I said it's high school football Friday night Yeah it's high school football Friday night And on that green hundred yards everything seems right End on G
