90 minutes of soccer
That’s all the time you got
It only takes one to win the game
Play hard to avoid any shame

If you score it would be great
You could hear the cheers from another state
You don’t have much time
Play well when the games on the line

Your team may win your team may lose
But don’t make up any excuse
The road may be windy but don’t give up
Because after all you only have ninety
