Friday night, butterflies - Like clock work, they'd arive
A little chill in an October sky - Nervous til' the kickoff came
Four quarters, win or lose - Spent Saturdays black and blue
But it was what I loved to do and it was more than just a game

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

Practice dancin' in my garage - Two left feet and a white corsage
Daddy let me borrow the Dodge - Said "Don't bring her home on empty."
I swung by and picked up Cindy Lou - Took her to the prom for a dance or two
Then we drove down to the water, blue - And that's where she kissed me

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

I got a call one July day - Cindy Lou was in that way
I had a big decision to make, and I couldn't take it lightly
At first I thought of leavin town - But I couldn't let our families down
Now I'm out here throwin this ball around with a boy that looks just like me

Well, it's my life and it's sure fun - Another season of my life's begun
Another race I'm glad I get to run - Another chapter of my life, I'm writing
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Gotta grab each moment that I can - Cuz' I'm never gonna feel like this again

No, I'm never gonna feel like this again
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again
