The Boys of Fall

  • Speedofsand
    Great video. Intro by Sean Payton in a high school football locker room. Song by Kenny Chesney.

    As always, Kenny Chesney continues to impress me. I haven't really liked his last couple songs, but this song and the one that was a hit right before it (Never wanted nothing more) are both great IMO. Great song, released at the perfect time (football season starts in 24 days...coincidence? I think not). The pep talk by the coach at the beginning is a really good addition too. Cant wait for football season!

    Awesome video. Makes me wish I was back in high school.

    I haven't seen the video, but love the song. Pretty accurate lyrics of football in Smalltown, USA.
  • Apple
    I can see this song making it into just about every high school football team highlight video this season ...and for many seasons to come!
  • GoChiefs
    Haven't been a Chesney fan since he went all Jimmy Buffet on us..but this was great.
  • Tiernan
    Great song and video...Chesney is no. 7 towards the end of the video with his mom and dad.
  • Dad4Sports
    Outstanding.....kind of brings the memories flooding back and "gets you right there".....if you know what I mean

    Didn't click the link...but I'm NOT a fan of that song. All of Chesney's stuff sounds the same anymore.

    The song is just a minor part of the video......the speeches by Sean Payton and all the other coaches are classic

    Terrible song. I hate pop music.
  • Speedofsand
    first 2 minutes are Sean Payton, last 2:20 are Mack Brown, Peyton Manning, John Madden, Brett Favre, Joe Namath, Bear Bryant.....in between is the video, just hit 'mute'

    When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass/
    I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads/
    Standing in the huddle listening to the call/
    Fans going crazy for the boys of fall/
    They didn't let just anybody in that club/
    Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood/
    To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall/
    Kings of the school man, we're the boys of fall/

    (Chorus)
    Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
    It's fighting back them butterflies/
    It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
    And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
    It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
    It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
    You mess with one man you got us all/
    The boys of fall/

    In little towns like mine that's all they got/
    Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops/
    The old men will always think they know it all/
    Young girls will dream about the boys of fall/

    (Chorus)
    Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
    It's fighting back them butterflies/
    It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
    And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
    It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
    It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
    You mess with one man you got us all/


    (Chorus)
    Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
    It's fighting back them butterflies/
    It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
    And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
    It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
    It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
    You mess with one man you got us all/
    The boys of fall/

    We're the boys of fall

    We're the boys of fall
