Rookie Lyrics by Brewster Durbin

Rookie

2024

[Intro]
We are losing somewhere in the neighborhood of a football field every 100 minutes, which is just a remarkable statistic to wrap your mind around…
…won a couple of Big West titles when this, uh, program was in the Big West, this year they are playing as an independent- Folks are continuing to pile into Cajun Field…
…The problem is, this part of our coast, particularly, isn’t receiving new sediment…
…The permanent seats hold 31,000, as you can see, they’re already starting to fill up the bank on the left, and as the camera moves onto the other side, the other side…
…Louisiana has lost an area greater then the Grand Canyon…
…but the folks here in the swamp are ecstatic, and two times during this drive they’ve converted on 4th down, including the touchdown play. What a great drive. Great drive…
…New Orleans is still sinking. Unless something is done, the Big Easy will slip beneath the sea, with or without another hurricane…
…Roll left, throw, end zone, touchdown!
From Cajun Field in Lafayette, Louisiana!
[Verse 1]
Big lights shining on me
Covered in brilliant red
Blood rushing down my sleeve
New Orleans Saints on the sheets
“Brewster, let’s get to bed
Precious boy and his dreams”
Go on, tell me the truth, am I everything you envisioned?
Do you believe in me to achieve more than just ambition?
When he was still around surpassing every expectation
Did he live in the shadow of his own creation?
[Chorus]
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Where is he? Cause we need him now
I know the jig’s up
They’ve been counting on me
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Where is he? Cause we need him now
It’s what I dreamed of, they’re all counting on me
[Verse 2]
The world underneath his cleats
The game’s behind him now
Floating down Congress Street
From boy to a memory
He ran out of the past
Into eternity
Event horizon passes, it seals off all of the data
The only key we have into the alpha and omega
The story seized the city, fueling wild imaginations
A boy like one of us, breaking all limitations
[Chorus]
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Go deep when you run this route
It must mean something that they’re counting on me
2 minutes, let the clock run down
I promise that I’ll make you proud
I know, Amelia, she’s been counting on me
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Stay here they need you around
It’s what I dreamed of, they’re all counting on me
They’re all counting on me
They’re all counting on me
They’re all counting on me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
[Outro]
(Inside the 10, dives - did he make the catch? Oh, he did!)
(Oh, Rookie, you are something special!)
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Where is he? Cause we need him now
I know the jig’s up
They’ve been counting on me
2 minutes, let the clock run down
Where is he? Cause we need him now
It’s what I dreamed of, they’re all counting on me
