Shoulderpads in the closet Rightguard nowhere to be foun
A couple acre clear space right next to town
I grew up like my brother did watching him get his first touchdown!
Ever seince my Dad tought me the game ive been more than just a Fan!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye
The game people cheer for! My father couldnt be more proud!
Now because of injury there is no legacy for me now!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye

I entered Rehab last summer to try and get back in the game
They said you can work out all you want but your skill wont be the same!
I called my old Doctor Schepemen he said my glory days are done
He Said Joe its just my job as a doctor but you can still have fun!
Hey calling it your job Doesnt mean a thing you took away my dream!
now I just sit at home and cheer for my old Team

Grandmas in the kitchen with the oven pot in her hand
I cant talk to her about my situation shes to old to understand
When you take away mans ability and he cant play the game only watch from a far...
There will be Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye
Well theres 97 things for me to do around the house or in the courtyard
Theres 97 things to do and all 97 dont mean a thing to me!

I think about my old coach my brother and my dad!
Sometimes I feel like Dieing as all i can see now is Rain on the football field!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
The game people cheer for! My father couldnt be more proud!
And im sorry son, me driving the fans crazy is just a memory now
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
The game people cheer for! My father couldnt be more proud!
And im sorry son, me driving the fans crazy is just a memory now
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
Rain on the football field, Tear in my eye!
