Pulled off the road
Stirred up the dust
Sat in my car
Over the fence

 Which forever I will always try...

Hey Jesus Christ is our Quarterback,
He's MVP and never gets sacked,
Twelve Apostles are the rest of the team,
The Bible is their rule and Jesus is their steam.

     Hot sweaty teens run fast track meets.

We had the snacks, including chips
And watched the game in little clips
Including the commercials, though,
Which ones I missed I wouldn’t know.

For grandkids joined us for the Bowl
With seeing touchdowns not the goal,
But rather hanging out...
