Lyrics

I was a Friday night warrior many years ago
To the cheering fans in bleachers I always put on quite a show
People that I was crazy, they thought: football was my world
But it wasn't for the glory, I was - playing for the girls

Well, I got my first guitar when I was just 14
Daddy lent me purchase money since that time I've been bending strings
Momma said he was crazy, she said I'd never fret a chord
But it wasn't for the music, I was - playing for the girls

In my life I've been known to do a few crazy things
Driven fast, burned and crashed, chasing after dreams
People thought I was crazy doing anything in this world
But it wasn't for the glory, I was - playing for the girls

Nowadays football's a distant memory
I've got a job and a mortgage, wife and family
And I don't need to get crazy, but I've still got that old guitar
But I won't play it for the glory, but I'll - play it for the girl
For my true love and her only - playing for the girl
