AN: I highly recommend listening to the songs as you read, unless you know them really well. I do, and I still found it helpful to listen as I wrote. They are, in order: The Boys of Fall (Kenny Chesney), Red Solo Cup (Toby Keith), Want To (Sugarland), Blown Away (Carrie Underwood), Starts With Goodbye (Carrie Underwood), Teardrops on my Guitar (Taylor Swift – some lyrics have been changed to make this song second-person), While We're Young and Beautiful (Carrie Underwood). All the song lyrics are in capital letters, and I OWN ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THESE SONGS! They all belong to the amazing artists and writers who created them. Enjoy!

Act 1

Scene 1:

Curtain opens on a football practice. 17 year old JARED stands on the sidelines watching his friends warm up and getting ready for his last year of football. A few of his friends clap him on the back as they head out onto the field ("Come on, man!" "Let's get out there!" etc.)

JARED

WHEN I FEEL THAT CHILL, SMELL THAT FRESH CUT GRASS

I'M BACK IN MY HELMET, CLEATS, AND SHOULDER PADS

STANDIN' IN THE HUDDLE, LISTNIN' TO THE CALL

FANS GOIN' CRAZY FOR THE BOYS OF FALL

THEY DIDN'T LET JUST ANYBODY IN THAT CLUB

TOOK EVERY OUNCE OF HEART AND SWEAT AND BLOOD

TO GET TO WEAR THOSE GAME DAY JERSEYS DOWN THE HALL

THE KINGS OF THE SCHOOL, MAN, WE'RE THE BOYS OF FALL

WELL IT'S TURN AND FACE THE STARS AND STRIPES

IT'S FIGHTIN' BACK THEM BUTTERFLIES

IT'S CALL IT IN THE AIR, ALRIGHT, YES SIR, WE WANT THE BALL

AND IT'S KNOCKIN' HEADS AND TALKIN' TRASH

IT'S SLINGIN' MUD AND DIRT AND GRASS

IT'S I GOT YOUR NUMBER, I GOT YOUR BACK

WHEN YOUR BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL

YOU MESS WITH ONE MAN, YOU GOT US ALL

THE BOYS OF FALL

IN LITTLE TOWNS LIKE MINE THAT'S ALL THEY GOT

NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS FILL THE COFFEE SHOPS

RYAN

THE OLD MEN WILL ALWAYS THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL

JACKSON

YOUNG GIRLS WILL DREAM ABOUT THE BOYS OF FALL

ALL

WELL IT'S TURN AND FACE THE STARS AND STRIPES

IT'S FIGHTIN' BACK THEM BUTTERFLIES

IT'S CALL IT IN THE AIR, ALRIGHT, YES SIR, WE WANT THE BALL

AND IT'S KNOCKIN' HEADS AND TALKIN' TRASH

IT'S SLINGIN' MUD AND DIRT AND GRASS

JARED

IT'S I GOT YOUR NUMBER

RYAN

I GOT YOUR BACK

BOTH

WHEN YOUR BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL

ALL

YOU MESS WITH ONE MAN, YOU GOT US ALL

THE BOYS OF FALL

JARED

WE'RE THE BOYS OF FALL

FOOTBALL PLAYERS (ECHO)

WE'RE THE BOYS OF FALL

ALL

THE BOYS OF FALL

JARED runs out and joins the practice.

Scene 2:

JARED, RYAN, JACKSON, and the FOOTBALL PLAYERS are in the locker room after practice, discussing a party.

RYAN

So, my parents are out of town this weekend! My house, tonight, 6:00!

The FOOTBALL PLAYERS shout excitedly.

JARED

Yeah, man! We need to celebrate! It's our last season, and the first game is next week!

JACKSON

I'm inviting the cheer squad! See you guys!

JACKSON exits.

JARED

Senior year, man. What happened? Where did all the time go?

RYAN

I know. But don't get sappy now. It's only September.

Looks at watch.

Shit, I've gotta go. I'm supposed to pick Laurie up in fifteen. See you tonight, man.

RYAN exits.

Scene 3:

JACKSON'S parent's house, 6 pm.

JARED,RYAN, JACKSON, FOOTBALL PLAYERS, CHEERLEADERS, and LAURIE are at the party. Everyone holds a red solo cup. Indistinct music plays, and several groups dance, while some stand around chatting.

JACKSON

NOW A RED SOLO CUP IS THE BEST RECEPTACLE

FOR BARBACUES, TAILGATES, FAIRS AND FESTIVALS

AND YOU, SIR, DO NOT HAVE A PAIR OF TESTICLES

IF YOU PREFER DRINKING FROM GLASS

A RED SOLO CUP IS CHEAP AND DISPOSABLE

AND IN FOURTEEN YEARS THEY ARE DECOMPOSABLE

AND UNLIKE MY HOME, THEY ARE NOT FORECLOSABLE

FREDDIE MAC CAN KISS MY ASS

JACKSON, RYAN, JARED

RED SOLO CUP, I FILL YOU UP

LET'S HAVE A PARTY, LET'S HAVE A PARTY

I LOVE YOU, RED SOLO CUP. I LIFT YOU UP

PROCEED TO PARTY, PROCEED TO PARTY

JACKSON

NOW I REALLY LOVE HOW YOU'RE EASY TO STACK

BUT I REALLY HATE HOW YOU'RE EASY TO CRACK

CUZ WHEN BEER RUNS DOWN THE FRONT OF HIS BACK (JACKSON spills his beer on another party goer)

WELL, THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS QUITE YUCKY

BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE LADIES GET SMITTEN

ADMIRIN' HOW SHARPLY MY FIRST NAME IS WRITTEN

ON YOU WITH A SHARPIE WHEN I GET TO HITTIN'

ON THEM TO HELP ME GET LUCKY

ALL

RED SOLO CUP, I FILL YOU UP

LET'S HAVE A PARTY, LET'S HAVE A PARTY

I LOVE YOU, RED SOLO CUP. I LIFT YOU UP

PROCEED TO PARTY, PROCEED TO PARTY

JACKSON

NOW I'VE SEEN YOU IN BLUE AND I'VE SEEN YOU IN YELLOW

BUT ONLY YOU, RED, WILL DO FOR THIS FELLOW

CUZ YOU ARE THE ABBOT TO MY COSTELLO

AND YOU ARE THE FRUIT TO MY LOOM

RED SOLO CUP, YOU'RE MORE THAN JUST PLASTIC

YOU'RE MORE THAN AMAZING, YOU'RE MORE THAN FANTASTIC

AND BELIEVE ME THAT I'M NOT THE LEAST BIT SARCASTIC

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU AND SAY

Red solo cup, you're not just a cup.

OTHERS

No, no, God, no (etc.)

JACKSON

You're my… my friend.

ALL

RED SOLO CUP, I FILL YOU UP

LET'S HAVE A PARTY, LET'S HAVE A PARTY

I LOVE YOU, RED SOLO CUP. I LIFT YOU UP

PROCEED TO PARTY, PROCEED TO PARTY

RED SOLO CUP, I FILL YOU UP

LET'S HAVE A PARTY, LET'S HAVE A PARTY

RED SOLO CUP, LET'S HAVE A PARTY

PROCEED TO PARTY

JACKSON

(SCATTING)

OTHERS

SOLO CUP!

SOLO CUP!

LAURIE

Jared! Come here! I want you to meet someone!

LACEY

Laurie, I…

(To Jared) Hi. I'm Lacey.

JARED

(Shyly) Hi. It's nice to… uhm. You're that girl who works down at the Anderson farm, right? The girl with the wild horses?

LACEY

That's me. Old man Anderson is my granddad, actually. You're the quarterback, right? Jared?

JARED

Yup. How'd you guess?

LAURIE

You're wearing your jersey, dumbass.

JARED and LACEY laugh nervously.

LAURIE

(To Lacey) Where's Riley? I thought he said he was coming.

LACEY

He's helping Granddad out tonight with feeding. Fifteen horses is a lot to take care of when you're in your eighties.

LAURIE

Gotcha. (To Ryan) Hey babe! Wanna dance?

Laurie leaves Lacey and Jared and crosses to Ryan.

JARED

So… I hope this doesn't sound too forward of me, but… Would you maybe wanna go out sometime? We could catch a movie or just go for a drive… Whatever you want.

LACEY

(smiling) I'd really like that.

(LACEY kisses JARED on the cheek then the two join RYAN and LAURIE on the dance floor.)

Scene 4:

JARED and LACEY sit in an old barn on the Anderson farm. A thunderstorm rages outside. Both are drenched from the rain, and LACEY wears JARED's letterman jacket. A cooler and camping supplies sit on the floor nearby.

LACEY

You played really well tonight. Can you believe it's been a month since we met?

JARED

No way! It feels like it's been years! I'm sorry the rain ruined our camping plans.

LACEY

Nothing got ruined. I've camped out in this old barn a ton of times. Ever since Granddad moved the horses up to the new barn, this place has been like my own special hideout. I love it in here. I just wish there was some heat sometimes.

JARED

Here. ( JARED places a blanket from the pile of camping supplies over LACEY's shoulders.)

LACEY

Thanks. You know… we've been acting an awful lot like friends…

JARED

Aren't we?

LACEY

Well, we could be… you know… something more.

I PACKED A COOLER AND A CHANGE OF CLOTHES

LET'S JUMP AND SEE HOW FAR IT GOES

YOU'VE GOT MY HEART AND YOUR DADDY'S BOAT

WE'VE GOT ALL NIGHT TO MAKE IT FLOAT

JARED

Boat? I don't have a –

LACEY

It's a metaphor.

WE COULD SIT ON THE SHORE

WE COULD JUST BE FRIENDS

OR WE COULD JUMP IN

THE WHOLE WORLD COULD CHANGE IN A MINUTE

JUST ONE KISS COULD STOP IT SPINNIN'

WE COULD THINK IT THROUGH

BUT I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

WE COULD KEEP THINGS JUST THE SAME

LEAVE HERE THE WAY WE CAME

WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

BUT I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

I'VE GOT YOUR RING AROUND MY NECK

AND A COUPLE OF NIGHTS I DON'T REGRET

YOU GOT A DREAM OF A DEGREE

AND A SHIRT THAT SMELLS LIKE ME

YEAH WE BOTH GOT DREAMS

WE COULD CHASE ALONE

OR WE COULD MAKE OUR OWN

THE WHOLE WORLD COULD CHANGE IN A MINUTE

JUST ONE KISS COULD STOP IT SPINNIN'

WE COULD THINK IT THROUGH

BUT I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

WE COULD KEEP THINGS JUST THE SAME

LEAVE HERE THE WAY WE CAME

WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

BUT I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

NEVER WASTE ANOTHER DAY

WOND'RIN' WHAT YOU THREW AWAY

HOLDIN' ME, HOLDIN' YOU

I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

WE COULD KEEP THINGS JUST THE SAME

LEAVE HERE THE WAY WE CAME

WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

BUT I DON'T WANT TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

JARED

BUT I WANT TO

BUT I WANT YOU

JARED and LACEY kiss.

Scene 5:

High school hallway. JARED overhears LAURIE and RILEY talking.

LAURIE

Do you think she's told him yet?

RILEY

Jared? About what?

LAURIE

You know what I mean. When her dad died. The storm.

DRY LIGHTNING CRACKS ACROSS THE SKIES

THOSE STORM CLOUDS GATHER IN HER EYES

HER DADDY WAS A MEAN OLD MISTER

MAMA WAS AN ANGEL IN THE GROUND

THE WEATHER MAN CALLED FOR A TWISTER

SHE PRAYED BLOW IT DOWN

RILEY

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RAIN IN OKLAHOMA

TO WASH THE SINS OUT OF THAT HOUSE

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH WIND IN OKLAHOMA

TO RIP THE NAILS OUT OF THE PAST

BOTH

SHATTER EVERY WINDOW 'TIL IT'S ALL BLOWN AWAY

EVERY BRICK, EVERY BOARD, EVERY SLAMMIN' DOOR BLOWN AWAY

'TILL THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT STANDIN', NOTHIN' LEFT OF YESTERDAY

EVERY TEAR-SOAKED WHISKEY MEMORY BLOWN AWAY

LAURIE

BLOWN AWAY

SHE HEARD THOSE SIRENS SCREAMIN' OUT

HER DADDY LAID THERE PASSED OUT ON THE COUCH

SHE LOCKED HERSELF IN THE CELLAR

LISTENED TO THE SCREAMIN' OF THE WIND

SOME PEOPLE CALLED IT TAKIN' SHELTER

SHE CALLED IT SWEET REVENGE

BOTH

SHATTER EVERY WINDOW 'TIL IT'S ALL BLOWN AWAY

EVERY BRICK, EVERY BOARD, EVERY SLAMMIN' DOOR BLOWN AWAY

'TIL THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT STANDIN', NOTHIN' LEFT OF YESTERDAY

EVERY TEAR-SOAKED WHISKEY MEMORY BLOWN AWAY

LAURIE

BLOWN AWAY

RILEY

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RAIN IN OKLAHOMA

TO WASH THE SINS OUT OF THAT HOUSE

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH WIND IN OKLAHOMA

TO RIP THE NAILS OUT OF THE PAST

BOTH

SHATTER EVERY WINDOW 'TILL IT'S ALL BLOWN AWAY

EVERY BRICK, EVERY BOARD, EVERY SLAMMIN' DOOR BLOWN AWAY

'TIL THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT STANDIN', NOTHIN' LEFT OF YESTERDAY

EVERY TEAR-SOAKED WHISKEY MEMORY BLOWN AWAY

LAURIE

BLOWN AWAY

BLOWN AWAY

BLOWN AWAY

BLOWN AWAY

BLOWN AWAY

(JARED, shocked at the news that LACEY is the reason for her father's death in the tornado a few years back, exits).

Scene 6:

A different high school hallway. JARED confronts LACEY about what he overheard.

JARED

Why didn't you tell me about your father?

LACEY

I don't know. I just… it isn't something I'm proud of, exactly.

JARED

What? You didn't trust me enough to love you anyway? (JARED takes LACEY by the wrist.)

LACEY

Let me go. Now.

(JARED releases her. LACEY is clearly startled by JARED's physical reaction.)

I think we should probably take some time off. Until we both cool down.

JARED

Fine!

(JARED exits.)

LACEY

I WAS SITTING ON MY DOORSTEP

I HUNG UP THE PHONE AND IT FELL OUT OF MY HAND

BUT I KNEW I HAD TO DO IT

AND HE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND

SO HARD TO SEE MYSELF WITHOUT HIM

I FELT A PIECE OF MY HEART BREAK

BUT WHEN YOU'RE STANDING AT A CROSSROAD

THERE'S A CHOICE YOU GOTTA MAKE

I GUESS IT'S GONNA HAVE TO HURT

I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO CRY

AND LET GO OF SOME THINGS I'VE LOVED

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

I GUESS IT'S GONNA BREAK ME DOWN

LIKE FALLIN' WHEN YOU TRY TO FLY

IT'S SAD, BUT SOMETIMES MOVING ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

STARTS WITH GOODBYE

I KNOW THERE'S A BLUE HORIZON

SOMEWHERE UP AHEAD, JUST WAITING FOR ME

BUT GETTING THERE MEANS LEAVING THINGS BEHIND

SOMETIMES LIFE'S SO BITTERSWEET

I GUESS IT'S GONNA HAVE TO HURT

I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO CRY

AND LET GO OF SOME THINGS I'VE LOVED

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

I GUESS IT'S GONNA BREAK ME DOWN

LIKE FALLIN' WHEN YOU TRY TO FLY

IT'S SAD, BUT SOMETIMES MOVING ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

STARTS WITH GOODBYE

TIME HEALS

THE WOUNDS THAT YOU FEEL

SOMEHOW, RIGHT NOW

I GUESS IT'S GONNA HAVE TO HURT

I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO CRY

AND LET GO OF SOME THINGS I'VE LOVED

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

I GUESS IT'S GONNA BREAK ME DOWN

LIKE FALLIN' WHEN YOU TRY TO FLY

(LAURIE and RILEY enter)

(LACEY)

IT'S SAD, BUT SOMETIMES MOVING ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

STARTS WITH GOODBYE

STARTS WITH GOODBYE

LAURIE and RILEY (ECHO)

I GUESS IT'S GONNA HAVE TO HURT

I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CRY

AND LET GO OF SOME THING'S YOU'VE LOVED

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

LIKE FALLIN' WHEN YOU TRY TO FLY

IT'S SAD BUT SOMETIMES MOVING ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

ALL

STARTS WITH GOODBYE

(LACEY, LAURIE, and RILEY embrace.)

Scene 7:

Night. A football game. LACEY sits with RILEY and some other friends. LAURIE cheers with the other cheerleaders. JARED stands on the sidelines, flirting with a pretty sophomore girl.

LACEY

It's been two weeks, and now all he talks about is that new sophomore transfer.

RILEY

Just ignore him, Lace. He isn't good enough for you. Just let him go.

LACEY

I know, Ry. I… I kind of understand now though. I should have told him about Dad.

RILEY

I can't believe he didn't already know.

LACEY

Yeah, I know. It was the talk of the town when we were fourteen. You know, I think I'm just gonna go. I'm not having that much fun. Give Laurie a kiss for me when the game's over.

RILEY

Okay, honey. You drive safe.

(They embrace. Lacey exits. Lacey enters her bedroom, pulls out her guitar, and sings as the game begins.)

LACEY

YOU LOOK AT ME

I FAKE A SMILE SO YOU WON'T SEE

THAT I WANT, AND I'M NEEDING

EVERYTHING THAT WE SHOULD BE

I'LL BET SHE'S BEAUTIFUL

THAT GIRL YOU TALK ABOUT

AND SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING THAT I'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITHOUT

YOU TALK TO ME

I LAUGH CUZ IT'S SO DAMN FUNNY

THAT I CAN'T EVEN SEE

ANYONE WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME

YOU SAY YOU'RE SO IN LOVE

YOU FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALL I THINK ABOUT AT NIGHT

CUZ YOU'RE THE REASON FOR THE TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR

THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME WISHING ON A WISHING STAR

YOU'RE THE SONG

IN THE CAR

I KEEP SINGING, DON'T KNOW WHY I DO

YOU WALK BY ME

CAN YOU TELL THAT I CAN'T BREATHE?

AND THERE YOU GO

SO PERFECTLY

THE KIND OF FLAWLESS I WISH I COULD BE

SHE BETTER HOLD YOU TIGHT

GIVE YOU ALL HER LOVE

LOOK IN THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES AND KNOW SHE'S LUCKY CUZ

YOU'RE THE REASON FOR THE TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR

THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME WISHING ON A WISHING STAR

YOU'RE THE SONG

IN THE CAR

I KEEP SINGING, DON'T KNOW WHY I DO

SO I DRIVE HOME ALONE

AS I TURN OUT THE LIGHT

I'LL PUT YOUR PICTURE DOWN AND MAYBE GET SOME SLEEP TONIGHT

YOU'RE THE REASON FOR THE TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR

THE ONLY ONE WHO'S GOT ENOUGH OF ME TO BREAK MY HEART

YOU'RE THE SONG

IN THE CAR

I KEEP SINGING, DON'T KNOW WHY I DO

YOU'RE THE TIME TAKEN UP, BUT THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH

AND YOU'RE ALL THAT I NEED TO FALL INTO

YOU LOOK AT ME

I FAKE A SMILE SO YOU WON'T SEE

(LACEY's grandmother ELLA knocks, and enters)

ELLA

Lacey, darlin', are you alright?

LACEY

Yeah, Gran. I'm okay.

ELLA

Baby, you love that boy, don't you?

LACEY

(nodding) But he loves someone else.

ELLA

Go tell him, then! There ain't no girl prettier or smarter in the whole world than you, so go out there and get that boy back! (softly) You look just like your mama, you know.

LACEY

Really?

ELLA

She was beautiful, too, just like you. But you won't make the same mistakes she did. She let the love off her life walk away, and landed with… well, it's no secret that your dad wasn't the kindest human being around.

LACEY

You could say that again.

ELLA

Go, baby. Go and win that boy's heart.

Scene 8:

Night. Another football game is ending. LACEY walks up to JARED as he leaves the field.

LACEY

Can we talk?

JARED

Yeah, sure.

LACEY

I'm sorry. For everything. For not telling you about Dad, for yelling at you…

JARED

It's alright! I was never mad at you. I was mad at your father, and confused about why you didn't tell me, but I understand now. And I'm sorry if I hurt you.

LACEY

(looking at her wrist) Oh, no, you didn't. It just… scared me. My dad used to grab me… What I really wanted to ask was, will you please forgive me? Will you take me back?

JARED

Of course.

LACEY

Just… Just like that? What about that sophomore?

JARED

Sophomore? Who do you –? Oh, Gina? I'm tutoring her in Math, Lace. That's why she's always around. I… I never wanted anyone but you.

(JARED kisses LACEY)

(JARED)

There's a party tonight at Jackson's. Kind of an end-of-football thing. Do you want to come with me?

LACEY

I would love to.

Scene 9:

Jackson's parent's house. JARED, LACEY, LAURIE, RYAN, RILEY, JACKSON, the FOOTBALL PLAYERS, and the CHEERLEADERS are at the party. Everyone holds solo cups, and stands on the back porch around the pool. JARED stands in the center of the group with LACEY, with his hands above his head.

JARED

Alright, alright, quiet down for a second! Hey Laurie! Could you turn the music off for a minute? I want to say something!

(The music stops)

(JARED)

Thanks. Guys, I really wanted to say thank you for an amazing senior season. I couldn't have done it without you. I also wanted to tell you all some big news. I've decided that after midterms, I'm leaving. I'm joining the Army, guys! I'll be eighteen next month, and it feels like the right thing to do. I'm leaving for boot camp before spring!

(The crowd shouts, and several people congratulate JARED and clap him on the back)

(JARED)

Hold on, hold on. Before you get back to drinkin', I just have one more thing I'd like to say. Lacey, I love you. I love you more than I ever thought I could love one person. And I would be honored if before I left for the Army, you would become my wife.

(The crowd goes absolutely wild. LAURIE begins to cry as JARED holds out a ring to her.)

LACEY

(Shocked) Yes. Yes, I will.

(They kiss, and their friends cheer. LAURIE turns the music back on.)

LAURIE

WHILE WE'RE YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

KISS ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT

TREAT ME LIKE I'M SPECIAL

COVER ME WITH SWEETNESS

CUZ A TIME WILL COME

WHEN WE'RE NOT SO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

LACEY

WHILE WE'RE YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

LAURIE

OH, YEAH

(JARED and LACEY & RYAN and LAURIE kiss. RYAN tosses LAURIE in the pool as the curtain closes)

So, what did you think? I know there needs to be a little more… idk SOMETHING between Jared and Lacey getting back together and the proposal, but I can't think up what yet. Suggestions are welcome! Thanks for reading!
