  • 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 Writer/s: AARON HENNINGSEN, BRIAN HENNINGSEN, CLARA HENNINGSEN, ELIZABETH ELKINS, VANESSA OLIVAREZ
