[Verse 1]
Clock in before the sun
Steel-toed, coffee-stained hands
Same old road, same old shift
Bend and break, then stand
She leaves a note on the fridge
Kids are grown, but I still see
Mud on their cleats, taped-up shins
Number jerseys in my memory
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave my back
I gave my time
She kept the porch light
Burning through the grind
[Chorus]
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Hard days, soft nights
That’s how we made
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Two boys in the stands
And my wife still waits (still waits)
[Verse 2]
Both boys ran like the wind
Across that painted field
Football bruises, busted lips
Learned what it means to heal
Now the house is a little quiet
But it’s full of where we’ve been
Old team photos on the wall
And her hand still pulls me in
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the sweat
I wore the miles
She wore the smile
That kept me alive
[Chorus]
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Hard days, soft nights
That’s how we made
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Two boys in the stands
And my wife still waits (still waits)
[Bridge]
If the roof leaks, we fix it
If the tires bald, we roll
We built this life on busted knuckles
And a heart that won’t let go
Now the boys are men
But I still hear them shout
When I look at her across the room
That’s what this whole thing’s about
[Final Chorus]
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Hard days, soft nights
That’s how we made
Friday night lights
Saturday night dates
Two boys in the stands
And my wife still waits (still waits)
