Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned eighteen today
I'm college bound for Lincoln
Nebraska's where I'll stay

It's been my dream all my life
To play football on this field
And if I ever get the chance
I'll make you this deal

I'll work hard I'll do my part
You won't hear me complain
I'll never go down easy
I swear I'll pull my weight

Hey there Mr. Osborne
I'll do anything to play
And it sure would be a honor sir
To call you coach someday
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/sawyer+brown/the+nebraska+song_20269402.html ]
Here in the middle of the middle west
We ain't afraid to fight
Well I've looked to you sir
Now I'll look you in the eye

Well I hear something calling me
Like I've never heard before
It's a red and white freight train
And I wanna get on board

I'll work hard I'll do my part
You won't hear me complain
I'll never go down easy
I swear I'll pull my weight

Hey there Mr. Osborne
I'll do anything to play
And it sure would be a honor sir
To call you coach someday

I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned eighteen today
I'm college bound for Lincoln
Nebraska's where I'll stay
