Lyrics
The Daktronics board buzzes hot above the field.
A kid named Pulaski just broke through the shield.
It's a quarter past eight, there's a damp autumn chill,
And the diesel from the generator hum feels too real.
[Chorus]
And this is how you'll remember it
A photograph your heart ain't taken yet.
[Verse 2]
Saw Maria slip her hand inside of Joey's letterman sleeve.

[Bridge]
I just flip the switches, keep the numbers true and bright.
A ghost inside the wiring of a Friday night.
Another gear tooth wearing down, another season's bend.
[Outro]
The clock bleeds down to zero.
They're tearing these stands down I hear next spring.
