Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned 18 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
Chorus
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
It sure would be an honor sir
To call you coach someday
Here in the middle of the Middle West
We ain't afraid to fight
Well I've looked sir
Now I'll look in the eye
Well I hear something callin me
I never heard before
It's a red and white freight train
And want to get on board
Repeat chorus
Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned 18 today
