[Verse 1]
Kickoff glow on a Saturday
Red and black on the TV screen
She’s barefoot in my old jersey
Laughing in my faded jeans
Little glass of amber on the table
Her head resting on my arm
I’m half lost in the fourth and inches
Half lost in her quiet charm
[Chorus]
Between the hedges and her
Between that field and this couch
I’m praying for one more touchdown
Thanking God she stuck it out
If there’s heaven here on earth
It’s autumn nights in her blue eyes
Georgia football, good whisky
And my wife by my side
[Verse 2]
She don’t mind when I pace the kitchen
When it comes down to the wire
She just tops off my drink, starts singing
About “glory” like a choir
Win or lose when the clock hits zero
She leans in, steals a kiss
Scoreboard fades in the kitchen light
And I swear it don’t get better than this
[Chorus]
Between the hedges and her
Between that field and this couch
I’m praying for one more touchdown
Thanking God she stuck it out
If there’s heaven here on earth
It’s autumn nights in her blue eyes
Georgia football, good whisky
And my wife by my side
[Bridge]
Some folks chase bright city shine
I’ll take this worn-out recliner
Her hand in mine, game on the line
Can’t name a thing that’s finer
[Chorus]
Between the hedges and her
Between that field and this couch
I’m praying for one more touchdown
Thanking God she stuck it out
If there’s heaven here on earth
It’s autumn nights in her blue eyes
Georgia football, good whisky
And my wife by my side
Georgia football, good whisky
And my wife for all my life
