Friday Night Flickers

Friday night

under stadium lights

We fought for every yard we could take

Now the dust

has settled on the field

And we're gathered down by the lake (mmmmm)

Throw another log on the embers

Watch the sparks climb into the dark (yeah)

And we've got the crickets for a choir

Fireflies dancing in the air

Singing 'bout the game and the glory

With nothing but time to spare

We talk about

the touchdown pass

That won the county crown

Wrapped in blankets

on tailgate beds

As the night wind cools the town

(ooh-ooh) With the crickets for a choir

Fireflies dancing in the air

Singing 'bout the game and the glory

With nothing but time to spare

Those yellow lights

flicker in the pines

Like old memories that never fade

Just a bunch of kids

in the southern wild

Thankful for the lives we made

Just the fire cracking low

And the crickets singing slow

Goodnight, boys (mmmmm)
