Nebraska Song

All-Conference
I'm puttin' together a CD to listen to on the road when I drive up to Lincoln this weekend (and the many weekends to follow). Just a little something to get me pumped on the way up, and especially to wake up to during the early morning drives I might have.

I thought fitting for the first track on this CD would be Nebraska Song by Sawyer Brown. Although dedicated to the memory of Brook Berringer, it was written before his death. Still, I think it shows the passion, dedication and love so many people past and present have for Nebraska football. And I think finally now that a lot of the lost tradition has come back to the school...this song will serve as a great reminder to never lose it again.

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

 

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
