Me, I'm the Lonesome Kicker

Extra points, field goals at your service

One might think it comes with glory

You might think different after you listen to my story



My helmet is equipped with a tiny face mask

What it possibly could protect, I do not know

The other guys on the team

Like to make fun of my little shoulder pads

And also like to hide the special shoe

I need to kick in the snow



People think it's so easy

To kick a field goal from the 30 yard line

They forget to add seven yards for the snap

And 10 more 'cause the goal posts are pushed way back



In 1974, the uprights were right on the goal line

But some of the players were running into them

And getting hurt

So screw the kicker

Who cares about the kicker?



But I kick that ball

And I pray it goes straight

If it does
