Wake up early, sun’s just risin’ Coffee brewin’, flags are flyin’ Red and black run through our veins It’s game day, y’all — can’t explain Downtown’s buzzin’, grill smoke high Old Dawgs and new blood side by side From Milledge to the Classic City streets It’s family here on every beat Saturdays in Athens, feel that thunder roll Between the hedges, we give it all, heart and soul From the Chapel Bell to the Glory land We’re barkin’ loud, hand in hand It’s heaven in the South, come see What game day means to U-G-A Tailgates poppin’ under those oaks Callin’ the Dawgs, crackin’ jokes Larry Munson on the radio Echoes deep in every soul Hairy Dawg’s dancin’, the band’s in stride Glory, Glory ‘bout to rise That Sanford roar, it shakes the ground The boys are back — it’s goin’ down Saturdays in Athens, where legends are born We fight like silver britches worn Blackout nights or Georgia sun We bleed red and black ’til the battle’s won From the North Campus Arch to Dooley’s dream We’re livin’ in a Bulldog scene And when that fourth quarter light shines bright We hunker down, we hold on tight Win or lose, we sing with pride ’Cause Dawgs stand strong, side by side WOOF! -- WOOF! -- WOOF! WOOF! -- WOOF! -- WOOF! Saturdays in Athens, you can’t fake that fire It’s red clay love, it’s pure desire Through every cheer, through every play The Bulldog spirit leads the way So grab that G, and raise it high It’s Georgia’s time, let’s touch the sky Yeah, it’s Saturdays in Athens, y’all Where legends live and Dawgs stand tall
