Little Nebraska Town
Grew up as a small town girl
Everyone spoke on a first name basis
Friday night was the main event
Under those bright lights with high hopes of a win
But we knew it didn’t matter anyway
If there’s a victory it’s gonna be a sight to see
A bonfire made of cottonwood trees
And even if we lose
We knew the game was skewed
Of all the moments that brought me here
And all the memories that I feel
I’m pretty sure the best ones that I’ve found
Started in a little Nebraska town
Sea of red on Saturday
Gather round the TV
Put our lives on pause and
There really is no place like here
Living that good life
Wouldn’t wanna change a thing
Born red and you know we’re corn fed
Of all the moments that brought me here
And all the memories that I feel
I’m pretty sure the best ones that I’ve found
Started in a little Nebraska town
And all that we need
Is our bread of day
‘round here
We wouldn’t have it any other way
Of all the moments that brought me here
And all the memories that I feel
I’m pretty sure the best ones that I’ve found
Started in a little Nebraska town
Hey, yeah
In that little Nebraska town
Grew up as a small town girl
Everyone spoke on a first name basis
Friday night was the main event
Under those bright lights with high hopes of a win
But we knew it didn’t matter anyway
If there’s a victory it’s gonna be a sight to see

Of all the moments that brought me here

Hey, yeah
In that little Nebraska town
BOYS SONG:
Brooke Berringer song by Sawyer Brown
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 an 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 up to you sir
Now I'll look you in the eye
Well I hear something callin 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 an honor sir
To call you Coach someday
I came up from Goodland, Kansas
Turned eighteen today
I'm college bound for Lincoln
Nebraska's where I'll stay

RIGHT HERE IN NEBRASKA Smack in the middle of our great nation, Is a state which requires some explanation, To east and west coasters who’ll come up and ask ya, “Is there anything of interest in the state of Nebraska?” La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska!
And there’s more... It’s true we don’t have mountains covered in snow, But we do have the world’s biggest live chicken show. We’re the makers of Spam... we invented Kool Aid, And this is where the first Rueben sandwich was made. La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...
Our insect... the honeybee, our bird... the meadow lark, The strobe light, our invention, works best in the dark. As governments go, we’re a freak of nature, Cause we have the only one-house state legislature. La... la...dee... da... only in Nebraska! And there’s more...
On Arbor Day, when you plant a tree, Remember that it started in Nebraska City, We were once called a desert, but that name didn’t take. Since we have the country’s largest underground lake. La... la...dee... da... right under Nebraska! And there’s more…
We have the world’s largest forest, all planted by hand, And more miles of rivers than any state in the land. The College World Series calls Omaha home, And this is where the buffalo used to roam. Until we shot them... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more... We were the first state to finish our I-80 section, And the first to pit two women in a gubernatorial election. We invented 9-1-1 emergency communication, And we’re the top producer of center pivot irrigation, La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more…
Our woolly mammoth fossil is the largest ever found, And our monumental “Car Henge” is bound to astound. We have a few museums that you could call “odd,” Dedicated to fur trading, roller skates, and sod. La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...
We built the world’s largest porch swing, indoor desert and rain forest, And anyone who visits is sure to adore us... So pack up the kiddies, the pets and the wife, And see why Nebraska is called “the good life.”
