D    
Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
   G                 D
I turned 18 today
A                                                  G                                D
I'm college bound for Lincoln, Nebraska's where I'll stay
D 
It's been my dream all my life
              G                      D
To play football on this field
        A
And if I ever get the chance 
       G                     D
I'll make you this deal

Chorus
G                            A
I'll work hard, I'll do my part
D                             G
You won't hear me complain
D
I'll never go down easy
A
I swear I'll pull my weight
G                     A
Hey there Mr. Osborne
D                            G
I'll do anything to play
D
It sure would be an honor sir
A                            D
To call you coach someday
D                                                   
Here in the middle of the Middle West
         G                          D
We ain't afraid to fight
         A
Well I've looked sir 
               G                D
Now I'll look in the eye
D                      
Well I hear something callin me
G                              D
I never heard before
          A
It's a red and white freight train
          G                    D
And want to get on board

Repeat chorus
D    
Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
   G                 D
I turned 18 today
A                                                  G                                D
I'm college bound for Lincoln, Nebraska's where I'll stay
