Friday Night Lyrics - Modern Day Prodigal Son - Brantley Gilbert

This city's looking like a ghost town 

All the stores downtown they've been closing down 

Yeah, the only lights that shine for miles 

Are lighting up the sky above memorial drive 

And if you want a seat you better come on down 

'Cause when the band fires up that old glory sound 

This is the moment we've all been waiting for 

Lining them up, and the whistle blows 

This ain't no game around here 

It's more like religion 

We've built this thing 'round here 

A football tradition 

So everybody get up 

And feast your eyes 

On the highlight of small town life 

It's Friday night

HOT SONG: TWICE - 'Feel Special' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

And winning state would be a miracle 

Man, we did it back in '54 

And if the baptist church prayed Sunday morning 

We might just stand a chance with the help of the Lord 

This is ain't no game around here 

It's more like religion 

We've built this thing right here 

A football tradition 

So, everybody get up 

And feast your eyes 

On the highlight of small town life 

It's Friday night 

And now the stadium's quiet 

Standing here alone on this old 50 yard line 

If I listen close i can hear battle cries 

Of all the heroes come and gone before I was alive 

The memories of fourth and three 

Now that rival game is coming back to me 

It meant more than a big state ring 

If we could do it again it'd never be the same 

Remember the lights and the butterflies 

Giving it all just one last time 

Because heroes are remembered but *dragons* never die 

This is ain't no game around here 

It's more like religion 

We've built this thing right here 

A football tradition 

So, everybody get up 

And feast your eyes 

On the highlight of small town life 

It's Friday night 

Come on
