Football Games And Girls

(album: Suburban Drawl - 2023)

Coulda run it if we had more clock
Picked up a few more first downs
Had a couple big plays called back
And they're costing us now
Lord knows that the refs didn't help
Somebody must've paid em off
Even the fella in the replay booth
Said we shoulda had the ball
Oh, it don't seem fair
It don't seem fair

Tough luck
Feels like the good guys never win
Close calls
Hurt worse than never coulda beens
Now all I can do is drink about the dreams that didn't come true
Football games and girls like you
Football games and girls like you

First kiss in the front porch light
Mighta been a little outta my league
But why'd you'd have to get my hopes so high
Then leave me on my knees
Oh, it hurt like hell
It hurt like hell

Tough luck
Feels like the good guys never win
Close calls
Hurt worse than never coulda beens
Now all I can do is drink about the dreams that didn't come true
Football games and girls like you

Sure I had my doubts in the beginning
But I couldn't bring myself to bet on another damn unhappy ending

Now it's...
Tough luck
Feels like the good guys never win
Close calls
Hurt worse than never coulda beens
Now all I can do is drink about the dreams that didn't come true
And hope like hell that one day they won't break my heart in two
Football games and girls like you
Football games and girls... girls like you
Girls like you
