GI’m Pulling Out The High School Jersey FDrom The Bottom Shelf.
EmStaring At The Mirror, Barely CRecognizing Myself.

EmNow I’m Turning Backwards Just To CNumb The Daily Pain.
GI Caught Myself Repeating Stories DAt The Bar Last Night.
EmAbout The Touchdown Pass I Threw CBeneath The Friday Lights.
AmThe Younger Guys Were Nodding, Looking GAt Their Phones Instead.
CWhile Every Play Was Looping Like A DMovie In My Head.

EmTrading All My Tomorrows Just To CBuy A Memory.
