Hail Mary

Wet socks and muddy grass, Thanksgiving knocked me on my ass
So I’m throwing this Big 5 pigskin with 6, 7, 8 of my best friends
Bulleit Rye in my thermos, playing ball how we learned it
When a couple of kids rolled up, started talking some shit
1 alligator 2 alligator 3 alligator
The quarterback is 8, maybe 9, he’s going deep you can see it in his eyes
5 alligator 6 alligator 7 alligator
His heart is open wide, he sends the ball into the sky
Hail Mary
Bless this time traveling 30-yard throw
20-some years from now someone be open in the end zone
Firecracker in hand running circles around an old man
Understand if I could have it this way forever I wouldn’t change nothing,
now or never
I’m saying throwing the ball around when I’m home (you don’t know what you got
till it’s gone)
1 alligator 2 alligator 3 alligator
The quarterback barefooted and fast, he’s dropping all the way all the way back
5 alligator 6 alligator 7 alligator
His heart is open wide, he sends the ball into the sky
Hail Mary
Bless this time traveling 30-yard throw
20-some years from now someone be open in the end zone
