Great video. Intro by Sean Payton in a high school football locker room. Song by Kenny Chesney.

As always, Kenny Chesney continues to impress me. I haven't really liked his last couple songs, but this song and the one that was a hit right before it (Never wanted nothing more) are both great IMO. Great song, released at the perfect time (football season starts in 24 days...coincidence? I think not). The pep talk by the coach at the beginning is a really good addition too. Cant wait for football season!

I haven't seen the video, but love the song. Pretty accurate lyrics of football in Smalltown, USA.

I can see this song making it into just about every high school football team highlight video this season ...and for many seasons to come!

Didn't click the link...but I'm NOT a fan of that song. All of Chesney's stuff sounds the same anymore.

The song is just a minor part of the video......the speeches by Sean Payton and all the other coaches are classic

first 2 minutes are Sean Payton, last 2:20 are Mack Brown, Peyton Manning, John Madden, Brett Favre, Joe Namath, Bear Bryant.....in between is the video, just hit 'mute'

When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass/
I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads/
Standing in the huddle listening to the call/
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall/
They didn't let just anybody in that club/
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood/
To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall/
Kings of the school man, we're the boys of fall/

(Chorus)
Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
It's fighting back them butterflies/
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
You mess with one man you got us all/
The boys of fall/

In little towns like mine that's all they got/
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops/
The old men will always think they know it all/
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall/

(Chorus)
Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
It's fighting back them butterflies/
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
You mess with one man you got us all/


(Chorus)
Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes/
It's fighting back them butterflies/
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/
And it's knocking heads and talking trash/
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass/
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall/
You mess with one man you got us all/
The boys of fall/

We're the boys of fall

We're the boys of fall
