[E]Eighth gra[A]de,[E] Away football gam[A]e[E]
There's a chill in the a[A]ir,[E] Mouthpieces and Gatorade
[A]My girlfriend's a cheerleader, I'm infatuated with the [B7]girl
With the game[A][E]
My shoulderpads are too small, [A] My[E] helmet's way too big[A][E]
My uniform's too clean,[A] I[E] haven't touched the ball
[A]She's watching me again, O God
Please make the coach[B7] put me in
Chorus:
I know wha[A]t i[E]t feels li[A]ke [E]to be sec[B7]ond string
I know wh[A]at [E]it feels li[A]ke [E]to just[B7] sit on the bench
And watch your friends play, and wonder why you[C#m7]'re even on the team
I kno[A]w secon[B7]d string[E][A][E]
First da[A]te,[E] I just got my driver's lic[A]ens[E]e
There's fog on the road[A], [E]we're lost and really late
[A]Driving Mama's car, the wrong way on an exit r[B7]amp
Chorus
[E]Long time ago[A], [E]there was a shepard boy[A][E]
He tended his sh[A]eep[E], he was of Jesse's line
[A]There was a war going on, when he got drafted b[B7]y the Lord[A][E]
His shoulder bones were too smal[A]l, [E] his suit of armor to[A] bi[E]g
His sword was way too heavy, [A] st[E]ill he heeded the call
[A]Armed with his faith, five stones and a[B7] sling shot
Chorus
