But I’m still go ing out for the foot ball team.

This might look rough, but it’s home sweet home.

Just a lit tle bit of dust and a lit tle bit of mold.

But it ain’t so bad on this side of the tracks.

We make it work with a lit tle bit of swag.

On this side, we can all keep win ning if we just try to fit in.
