CAPO AT THE FIRST FRET!

on the high E string for the F# that comes in

C

          C                                                   F                                C
Well, I came up from Goodland, Kansas, turned eighteen today
        G                                             F                        C
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:
F                            G                    C                                F
I'll work hard, I'll do my part, you won't hear me complain
F                                         G
I'll never go down easy, I swear I'll pull my weight
F                     G                     C                    F
Hey there Mr. Osborne, I'll do anything to play
                                                         G                             C
And it sure would be an honor sir, to call you coach someday

Now in the middle of the middle west, we ain't afraid to fight
Well, I've looked up 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

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT FIRST VERSE, END ON C
