Lyrics
Verse 1
Leaves of orange and yellow - dance across the field
At the feet of Johnny Football - to the beat of Jenny Cheer
In this football shrine - to the football Gods we pray
For the feet of Johnny Football - for the beat of Jenny's Sway
Chorus
In that October Sky - the Harvest Moon Shines
Like a spotlight on our hero
Our Fathers and Sons, our Daughters and Mums
Everyone that we know
Screamin' fight fight fight - that stadium rockin' left and right
Thankin' God for the might - of our football team tonight
Verse 2
Twenty five years later - that field still looks the same
Through the eyes of Johnny Football - in the heart of Jenny Sway
Prayers have been answered - brought my wife and I tears
Our son is Johnny Football - our daughter Jenny Cheer
Chorus
Bridge
Sing along - LA-LA's and October Sky
