v.1

Looking back on a time and a place in the past

Where everyone knew my name.

I can still watch it all on replay

Because the memories remain

Summer days in the sun, skiing the lake

And a late night kegger at Tom’s

To live one more day as those carefree kids

When we still had our dad’s and our mom’s

Chorus:

Our quarterback’s a detective

And the fullback hauls the mail.

One half back’s a southern Baptist preacher

And the other one guards the jail.

Living our best lives now, but for just one day

I’m thinking that we’d all go back

Make a wish, and break that huddle

Just to watch that wishbone crack.

V2.

Hopes and dreams of the kids that we were

And the failures we reluctantly carry

Thanking God now for unanswered prayers of the past

And the cheerleaders we didn’t marry.

One at bat or a carry, a catch, or a shot

Or the ride home on the bus

Didn’t win them all, but we played them together

And that’s how I always remember us

Chorus:

Our quarterback’s a detective

And the fullback hauls the mail.

One half back’s a southern Baptist preacher

And the other one guards the jail.

Living our best lives now, but for just one day

I’m thinking that we’d all go back

Make a wish, and break that huddle

Just to watch that wishbone crack
