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
