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

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

| "We were asked to perform at the University of Nebraska during their 'Second Title' National Championship Celebration. I was asked to write a song for this event by my good friend Brook Berringer, Quarterback for the Cornhuskers. The song was never heard and the celebration never took place due to Brook's tragic death one day prior to the event. #18 The Nebraska Song was inspired by Brook and is dedicated to his memory." --- Mark Miller of the country band, Sawyer Brown | |

| When Berringer died, it was such a shock and loss in Nebraska that this song continues to this day to bring a tear to the eyes of any loyal fan. | |
