Make the County Proud

Performed by: Bale Harrison and the Field Hands

Lyrics and Music by Alan Nafzger

Verse 1:
Friday night lights, the stands are alive,
Chaparrals ready, we’re here to thrive.
But when the game’s done, and the crowd hits the town,
Remember your manners, don’t let the sheriff frown!

The bars are crowded, the streets are loud,
We’re champions, yeah, we make the county proud.
So drink your soda, keep your hands clean,
Don’t make the headlines with a jailhouse scene!

Chorus:
Make the county proud, don’t get arrested when you go into town,
Keep your helmet on and your feet on the ground.
Friday night heroes, yeah, we know how,
Chaparrals forever, make the county proud!

Verse 2:
The QB’s spinning, the defense is tough,
Fans are cheering, man, the game was rough.
But don’t let the celebration get out of hand,
No speeding tickets, no “oops” in the sand.

Mascots waving, band’s on parade,
Take the victory slow, don’t throw it away.
From the parking lot to the corner store,
Play it smart, ‘cause the cops are at the door!

Chorus:
Make the county proud, don’t get arrested when you go into town,
Keep your helmet on and your feet on the ground.
Friday night heroes, yeah, we know how,
Chaparrals forever, make the county proud!

Bridge / Chant:
Hands in the air, but don’t break the law,
Cheer for the team, but don’t drop the straw.
From the bleachers to the neon lights,
We’re champions with sense, not late-night fights!

Chorus / Outro:
Make the county proud, don’t get arrested when you go into town,
Keep your helmet on and your feet on the ground.
Friday night heroes, yeah, we know how,
Chaparrals forever, make the county proud!
