9/6/81 John Dickerson with Dad, Wyatt

(Verse 1) 🎵 Sunday morning, put my jersey on, Dad says, “Come on, son, the game won’t wait too long!” Driving down the highway, city shining bright, RFK is glowing in the golden morning light. (Pre-Chorus) The crowd is cheering, colors flying high, Red and gold all around, reaching for the sky. Hand in hand, through the gates we go, With my dad right beside me, the best seat in the show. (Chorus) 🏈 Oh, the crowd goes wild, the stadium shakes, The band plays loud, the ground vibrates! With my dad by my side, it feels so grand, Just a boy and his hero in the Redskins land. (Verse 2) Mom’s on TV, telling stories so bold, Dad throws parties where history’s told. Growing up in Merrywood, where Jackie once played, But today it’s just football, the best kind of day! (Pre-Chorus) The coach is shouting, the whistle blows, The players huddle, the tension grows. Dad leans over, “This is the play,” I listen so close, I’ll remember this day. (Chorus) 🏈 Oh, the crowd goes wild, the stadium shakes, The band plays loud, the ground vibrates! With my dad by my side, it feels so grand, Just a boy and his hero in the Redskins land. (Bridge) When I grow up, I’ll tell stories too, Maybe not of touchdowns, but things that are true. I’ll write and I’ll speak, just like Mom and Dad, But today, I’m a kid—let’s cheer, let’s clap! (Final Chorus) 🏈 Oh, the crowd goes wild, the stadium shakes, The band plays loud, the ground vibrates! One day I’ll be big, but I’ll always stand, With my dad in my heart and the roar of the fans. (Outro – softly) So here in this moment, no worries, no plans, Just a son and his father… in the Redskins stands.
