Mud on the Cleats

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Saturday dawn, grass still wet Hand-me-down pads, helmet set Dad ties tight those faded laces Chalk on his cheeks, fire in his face [Pre-Chorus] He runs out past the chain-link fence Heart beatin' like it makes no sense One more snap, one more chance He was born for that end zone dance [Chorus] Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Hear that crowd stomp feet Little hands, big dreams Break right through the seam Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats [Verse 2] New number stitched on the back Scraped-up knees, same old pack Mom on the sideline, voice like gold Says, "Keep your head up, be brave, be bold" [Pre-Chorus] He gets hit but he gets back up Dust on his shirt, never gives up One more snap, one more chance He was born for that end zone dance [Chorus] Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Hear that crowd stomp feet Little hands, big dreams Break right through the seam Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats [Bridge] Lights come on, the sky turns blue Whole town yelling, "We believe in you" One brave cut, one open lane He smiles through the sweat and the rain [Final Chorus] Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Hear that crowd stomp feet Little hands, big dreams Break right through the seam Run, run, kid, run (run, run, kid) Mud on the cleats
