"Run The Damn Ball" lyrics

"Run The Damn Ball"

Wasn't half-time yet in the game
When he sipped a half empty glass
The ole boy threw another fifth
When somebody dropped another pass
Came off of his stool cussin' at the flat screen
When he looked at me like what do you think
I said man we keep it simple 'round here

We run the damn ball, plow the dang dirt
Earn a paycheck, settle down, go to church
Live for the day, we stack 'em on up
Take the three yards and a cloud of dust
Sunday dinner to Friday night
The game ain't changed and that's alright
When all else fails it ain't a bad call
To pass the green beans and run the damn ball

I said it's hard to be tried and true
Yeah, the record speaks for itself
Now days in this can't wait hail mary world
I reckon it's a pretty tough sell

So run the damn ball, plow the dang dirt
Earn a paycheck, settle down, go to church
Live for the day, we stack 'em on up
Take the three yards and a cloud of dust
Sunday dinner to Friday night
The game ain't changed and that's alright
When all else fails it ain't a bad call
To pass the cornbread and run the damn ball

Yeah where I come from
We stick to the one that we brung to the dance
And I'm still sold on
If it ain't broke, then why try to fix it man

Just run the damn ball, plow the dang dirt
Earn a paycheck, settle down, go to church
Live for the day, we stack 'em on up
Take the three yards and a cloud of dust
Sunday dinner to Friday night
Ain't changed in the game of
When all else fails it ain't a bad call
To pass the green beans and run the damn ball
To pass the cornbread and run the damn ball
To pass the Lord's plate and run the damn ball

Just run the damn ball
