Story behind the song
Inspired by real life events, of my son's fellow football player Sammy Casilio. He really was a stand out player and amazing young man.

Football In Heaven

V1
Papaw gave Sammy a football, on his fifth birthday
Mama dressed him in UT orange, for his first big game
He ran and passed like a natural, loved to watch him play
my heart melted like a popsicle, when I heard him say
Chorus
Daddy is there Football In Heaven...
wonder if.... their quarterback has wings...?
Do you think God, has a fav'rite team....
If he does, hope he roots for me...?
If there's Football In Heaven
V2
Sammy was a standout quarterback, all through Sr. High
college scouts came sniffin' round, like blood hounds gone hog wild
he'd wave at the fans, scream "don't worry", sudden death overtime
then throw a forty yard hail mary, point to the sky and smile
he prayed...
Chorus (2)
Daddy if there's Football In Heaven...
would ya lend... my hail mary some wings....?
Told the guys, we were your fav'rite team...
God help me find the end zone please...
If there's Football In Heaven
Bridge
Sam was ridin' shotgun, when they left the party....
mustang was goin' ninety, when they hit that big oak tree..
Chorus (3)
Daddy if there's Football In Heaven
blow a kiss... to our quarterback with wings...
my heart tells me, he's on your fav'rite team...
Please tell Sammy we believe....
there's Football In Heaven...

Yeah there's Football In Heaven
