Brick Breaux: Between the Whistles | New Country Song About Playing Football as Kids

Brick Breaux: A New Country sports song for Country music fans. Between the Whistles: Emotional New Country Song About Helping a Kid Reach His Potential Thru Football. In 2015, after the Syracuse football game, LSU’s star running back, Leonard Fournette, was asked by media about the reports of Syracuse players gouging at his eyes & punching him in the crotch after the play was over & the whistle had blown. Being the bigger man, Leonard said, “I’m just trying to get it done between the whistles.” There is a whistle by the refs to start the play & one to end the play, of course. That reminded me of a little kid I used to play football on my knees with when I was a kid. Are you a lyricist? Gimme a holler. Between the Whistles [VERSE] I was about ten he was maybe five He was always the Tigers and I was the Tide Out by the hedges on the crisp cool grass The super bowls and epic games we had [VERSE] I used to tell him you gotta get it done That time was a tickin’ you gone pass or run When your mom whistles it’s time to hustle When your dad whistles we all in trouble [CHORUS] Ah the battles we had under those blackbird skies Not even distracted by the ice cream guy Keith Jackson would always call our game And a capacity crowd always came To see the kid from the sticks who runs like a river No doubt left that he’d deliver Gotta arm so strong like guided missiles Just gettin’ it done...between the whistles [VERSE] I moved away and then sometime later Thought I read his name in the local paper Called my mom and asked if that was that kid I used to play football on my knees with [VERSE] He was a star quarterback at his high school The big ole exception to the rule He said the guy who taught him to play said listen We gotta get it done between the whistles [CHORUS] Ah the battles we had under those blackbird skies Not even distracted by the ice cream guy Keith Jackson would always call our game And a capacity crowd always came To see the kid from the sticks who runs like a river No doubt left that he’d deliver Gotta arm so strong like guided missiles Just gettin’ it done...between the whistles [INSTRUMENTAL] [BRIDGE] Years after he bowled me over in the clover That kid made the team of his dreams Now he’s Fightin’ Tigers bound...whistlin’ it seems [CHORUS] Ah the battles we had under those blackbird skies Not even distracted by the ice cream guy Keith Jackson would always call our game And a capacity crowd always came To see the kid from the sticks who runs like a river No doubt left that he’d deliver Gotta arm so strong like guided missiles Just gettin’ it done...between the whistles ...between the whistles ...between the whistles © 2016 Middlebrooks (Brick Breaux singing) 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Turn on notifications: Subscribe + hit the bell for more original country music! #Countrymusic #Country #Love #Family #Football #lyrics #lyricvideo #lsu #Countrysongs
