American Football
Run, catch, take a hit
I couldn’t quit.
In football that’s what I could do
That was my food
Knocked on my rear end
My business I did tend
Two years totally blasted twice
It was kind of nice
A glamour boy scoring touchdowns
I did not frown
Flashing speed on the outside
That’s what you need
Decent hands I felt home on the land
A Michigan state high school ranked team
We did beam.
