Transcribed by Eade Bayrem 
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
