Lyrics


Down here, where's we're at
The weather changes, that's the way it goes
Sometimes it snows, when everything's wrong
Sometimes it snows, but when it does, it doesn't last long

Down here, where we're at
All we do is sit out on the porch
And play our songs, and nothing's wrong
Sometime friends come around, they all sing along

Down here, where we're at
Everybody is equally poor
Down here, we don't care
We don't care what happens outside the screen door

Down here, where we're at
Sweat drips from the tip of your nose
You wear loose clothes, and you try to stay cool
We all still have a lot of fun, never saw much school

Down here, where we're at
Everybody is equally poor
Down here, we don't care
We don't care what happens outside the screen door

ALL MY LIONS FEELS! Oh my gosh, Festividder, thank you so much! This is such a lovely vid and my heart is all full of happy watching it :D I love the song choice, it really captures that small town Texas feel and I love how you got across that sense of love and friendship and community that comes from football that the show does so brilliantly. Thank you, I love it!

[chaila]

This is great! I love how this included so much, all the different relationships, the community, the team, the hard work, the setting, just everything.

FNL + Uncle Tupelo = yesssssssssssss. :D

This song could totally have been used on the show, and the vid really captures the feel of the show: the main characters are all here, obviously -- Vince, Jess, Luke, Becky, Coach Taylor, Landry, Riggins -- but the team shots, the landscape shots, the crowd shots, all that stuff is important too, and you pull it all in. And I just love the choice to end with Tinker. ♥

Oh, yay. That was excellent. Such a great look at the whole East Dillon community.

What a wonderful vid. I loved how you evoked the sense of community and pride. Yay Tinker winning with his pig! :D

[franzeska]

Very atmospheric.

ALL THE EAST DILLON LIONS FEELS! This was excellent! Makes me crave to re-watch the series :)

[kass]

Yay, Lions feels! That is exactly what I was going for. <3 This is the vid I first started making for you -- I wanted to try to tell a story about the Lions and about Tim, and heresluck gently convinced me that I had two ideas there and needed to split it into two. So this became the team vid, and "Avenues" became the Tim vid. :-) I'm so glad you liked it!

[kass]

Thank you most kindly -- I'm so glad it worked for you! <3

[kass]

Ending with Tinker makes me grin. Every time I rewatch, that last clip makes me smile. I'm glad it does the same for you.

And thank you SOOOOOO much for awesome and smart beta feedback! This vid is about a zillion times better because you helped me think through how to make it clearly.

[kass]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I loved the blue seasons, but it was really fun focusing on the red seasons and the characters from later in the show. <3

[kass]

Yay, thank you so much -- I'm so glad the sense of community and pride came across!

I just love Tinker winning with his pig. <3

[kass]

Thank you kindly!

Yay, East Dillon Lions feels! I'm so glad you enjoyed.
