He was standing on the side line wearing that try-out uniform  An old hand me down double zero worn out jersey, ragged and torn  He was two head shorter than all his competition  So, being the start quarterback was a long shot position  But on home-coming Friday night, they were only down by three  They were huddle up in a circle he said on two boys, quarterback sneak  He was in the air when the final second ran out  He could tell that he'd cross the goal by the roar of the crown    Touchdown in a small town  My boy that wore those double zeros  They won, job well done  Lets thank god and hear three cheers for the heroes  Touchdown, touchdown in a small town    He was the pride of Hickman County High  He was something you had to see  He could've gone to any college  But he volunteered to be all he could be  After twelve months overseas fighting in the sand  The pilot on the intercom said were just about to land    Touchdown in a small town  My boy that wore those double zeros  They won, job well done  Lets thank god and hear three cheers for the heroes  Touchdown, touchdown in a small town    No he can't believe they all think he's a hero  Touchdown, Touchdown in a small town
