The Alercio OLine Clinic at St Johnsbury Academy in Vermont this past weekend was a huge success. Enjoy the video clip from the clinic. Below, I share the lyrics of the song choice, The Lineman’s Blues.
Down in the trenches where the big boys play
No fame or glory, just another workday
We hold the line while the crowd looks away
Sweat and grit pave our unseen highway
The quarterback shines, but we take the blows
The running back flies while our effort shows
Every push every grind, it’s the life we chose
Unseen soldiers where the battle flows
Strike…step…drive, drive, drive
Keep the pocket clean, keep the play alive
No spotlight here, but we still thrive
Strike…step…drive, drive, drive
We’re the wall, the fortress no one can breach
Carrying the weight within arm’s reach
Every yard earned is a lesson we teach
No cheering crowd, no name on the screen
But we’re the backbone of this gridiron scene
When the whistle blows, it’s a war machine
Grinding the glory into the unseen
Strike…step…drive, drive, drive
Feel the earthquake as the engines arrive
Push the limits of what we can survive
Strike…step…drive, drive, drive
