[Verse 1]
He clocked out early
Oil on his hands
A hard working man
In a ballcap stance
His wife at the table
With a plate made right
Two grown boys laughing
Under porch light
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the house is wide
But it still feels full
Of old team pictures
And a strong-willed pull
He hears that whistle
When the screen door swings
[Chorus]
Friday night lights
That whole town knew
Friday night lights
Raised them boys up, too
Saturday night dates
Soft nights at home
Friday night lights
Where the good times grow
[Verse 2]
Both boys were bruised up
By the fourth quarter
Mud on their cleats
And fire in their order
She sewed on numbers
And kissed each brow
Said, "Run your race, boys
Make me proud somehow"
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they call from miles
From new front doors
But every game day
They come back for more
One wears a tie now
One still loves the fight
[Chorus]
Friday night lights
That whole town knew
Friday night lights
Raised them boys up, too
Saturday night dates
Soft nights at home
Friday night lights
Where the good times grow
[Bridge]
He holds her hand
By the screen door frame
Says, "Look what we made"
And calls their names
Two grown men
Still his pride and grace
And she smiles like
She knows her place
[Chorus]
Friday night lights
That whole town knew
Friday night lights
Raised them boys up, too
Saturday night dates
Soft nights at home
Friday night lights
Where the good times grow
