It starts with the lights, oh so bright and oh so high above the
green grass, painted up to be a gridiron, the shrine of towns
across the state, where fans come out, dressed for the weather,
in school colors, faces painted, ready to cheer loudly for their
children playing for the pride of the school and town, trying their hardest
to beat their rival, or whoever they may be playing that night, so
the town can have bragging rights for another year, until the
lights go up again, above the green grass, shining like a beacon
letting everyone in town know that it is once again a football night.
So it is in Texas, where each fall teenagers play to make their town proud.
So it is in Texas, where each fall entire communities pack stadiums on Fridays.
So it is in Texas, where high school football is not just a way of life, it's
THE WAY OF LIFE!
