Across That Football Field

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a stadium light still burning In the back roads of my mind A young man on the fifty Pulling helmet off to find Her walking 'cross that green field Prettiest thing I'd ever seen Got me right there in high school And she's never left since then [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a love we've made From a small town dream to the vows we gave Through every season, every storm we knew I thank the good Lord every day for you Yeah, every day for you [Verse 2] Down behind the library On that flat stone by the river Sharing whole pies at the pizza shop Young hearts, forever givers '89, we said forever Barely grown but sure as rain Five babies raised and flying Then two more came our way [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a love we've made From a small town dream to the vows we gave Through every season, every storm we knew I thank the good Lord every day for you Yeah, every day for you [Bridge] Suzette, for every time I didn't say it For every grace, every time you stayed You're the strongest, sweetest soul I know And I hope this song finally lets it show [Verse 3] On the St. Lawrence in the summer Wellesley Island in the sun Florida skies and Lake George evenings Girl, we've only just begun Suzette, you've been my anchor My forgiveness, my home, my friend I'd choose that football field again And every road since then [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a love we've made From a small town dream to the vows we gave Through every season, every storm we knew I thank the good Lord every day for you Yeah, every day for you [Outro] Suzette, my whole heart, it's true Lee will always love you
