Friday Night Lights
Stretch and yawn
it is the break of dawn
It is a cool fallday, in the middle of october
I slide into my cheerleading uniform
as i begin my school day
I walk the halls and spot the players in jerseys
no surprise
quickly the last bell rings
just like that it is a Friday Night
I can smell the paint that lays the yard lines
it is fresh and it is bright
just like the lights that shine over me
it is football season
and every person in this small town can feel the excitement
chills have taken over my body
our school song has began
the crowd is roaring as the ball is kicked
the crowd roars again as the winning touchdown is made
what a beautiful site
school pride is overflowing in our town
it is monday morning again as i am dragging out of bed
begging for a friday night
as i wake stretch and yawn
friday whispers, i am near
