Lyrics:
I was on the field on a Friday night
3rd string, had to swallow my pride
I got thrown in on a 4th and 5
just so they could take a knee
oh I was only thinking about my 6 string
 
I remember coach tryna break us down
2 a days had us passin out
this week we gotta play away
home team just came from state
lost by 6, that's the worst way
 
damn, bus ride back had a sour taste
had a revelation bout where I wanna be
I was drained of patience and my energy
just to find out I played the wrong game
I was thinking bout my 6 string
 
heatwave ain't ever takin breaks
we would find shade in the cemetery
drove a couple hours to the angel oak
heavy conversation with a little smoke
 
mama's cookin up corn meal grains
daddy's yellin at the football game
I was upstairs tryna make a name
I was upstairs with my 6 string
