How long could you stand to listen to this? I made it 59 seconds on first listen, but I had to take myself out of the running because I decided to transcribe the lyrics. The things I do for you. The sacrifices I make.
Rick Neuheisel sings ode to Johnny Manziel on Dan Patrick Show
Sung to the tune of Marty Robbins’ “El Paso.” Brace yourselves.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
Out in the badlands they called College Station
Lived a young Aggie named Johnny Manziel
Football and life to him were a bull ride
He rode them both like a bat out of hell
He shocked the nation by beating the best
Flattening out the Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-i-i-ide
The Heisman came calling, the agents came crawling
But through it all Johnny Football did ride, ride, ride
Now our young Aggie’s no longer a hero
He was a target of public disdain
Another victim of fame and fortune
“What’s wrong with Johnny?” became the refrain
Then came the white hats to end this scourge
The N-C-A-AAAAAAAAAA-hey
When they tried to blind him, he said that he signed them
Six hours later, they said “It’s okay”Now it’s behind us, the dust has settled
Johnny Manziel is back for a ride
Saturday’s game was one for the ages
Not quite enough to roll over the TideI hope we all can admire his talents
I hope we don’t have to witness his fall
We might not all say what we did in our 20s
But we will all say we watched Johnny Football
(h/t to The Big Lead)
