[Verse 1]
There’s a rusted bell on the old school roof
Rings out sharp like a hometown truth
Main Street’s cracked but we don’t care
Cause the soul of the town still lives out there
Where the kids get loud and the diesel growls
And the lights kick on past the edge of town
It’s a makeshift kingdom, patched and wired
But the crown gets passed when the stakes get higher
[Chorus]
It ain’t just a game when the world gets small
When your whole damn heart’s in a handoff call
Where the stories live in the pads and the scars
And the crowd sings hymns under broken stars
No fame, no lights from a TV tower
Just us and the sky
Under the wires
[Verse 2]
Coach still drives that busted Ford
With a dog-eared playbook and a cross on the dashboard
He don’t say much, just “dig in deep”
And the boys lace up like it’s soul they keep
Mama’s got chili in a thermos jug
Grandpa’s got money on a pick-six shrug
And the preacher’s there with a wild-eyed grin
Sayin’ “hell yeah, God still roots for them”
[Chorus]
It ain’t just a game when the world gets small
When your whole damn heart’s in a handoff call
Where the stories live in the pads and the scars
And the crowd sings hymns under broken stars
No fame, no lights from a TV tower
Just us and the sky
Under the wires
[Bridge]
Maybe we won’t make the front page
But our legends echo past the chain-link cage
And the scoreboard don’t write the whole song
It’s the grit in the gut that keeps us strong
[Chorus]
So light up the field and let ‘em come
We were raised on sweat and a no-quit drum
With nothing but hope and a stitched-up fire
We write our names
Under the wires
