25-8 Songtext
von Larry Fleet

Grandpa′s passed-down pickup, couple of hiccups under the hood
Spent all summer with it tryna get it runnin' good
Man, I bet I′d've had it runnin' great
If that 24-7 was 25-8

Jesus, mama, football, that′s ′bout all we know around here
Breathe it, bleed it, undefeated season senior year
Whole town freaked out when we took it all the way to state
We practised 24-7, lost 25-8

There'd be a couple less coulda-beens and ones that got away
A whole lot more beer to drink and hell to raise
Who knows what I did wrong or finally get right
If I had more time to have the time of my life
Well, all my favourite stories would have one more page
If 24-7 was 25-8

She flew in from California for Daytona for that week
Next thing I know, I got her wishin′ home was Tennessee
Still think we'd′ve been more than just that one spring break
If that 24-7 was 25-8


There'd be a couple less coulda-beens and ones that got away
A whole lot more beer to drink and hell to raise
Who knows what I did wrong or finally get right
If I had more time to have the time of my life
Well, all my favourite stories would have one more page
If 24-7 was 25-8

Just one more day
I know Father Time ain′t sellin'
But there's no tellin′ what I′d pay
For sometimes time runnin' out can run a little bit late
And made 24-7, 25-8
I wish 24-7 was 25-8

There′d be a couple less coulda-beens and ones that got away
A whole lot more beer to drink and hell to raise
Who knows what I did wrong or finally get right
If I had more time to have the time of my life
Well, all my favourite stories would have one more page
If 24-7 was 25-8

But 24-7 ain't 25-8
