Liner Notes

#Football #NFL #acousticonetake #humor
Apologies for the morning voice, clumsy guitar and sketchy iPhone recording. Couldn't resist a Super Bowl hangover song, though, and needed to get it done before I completely lost enthusiasm for it. It's an unabashed ripoff of "Mick Ryan's Lament", written by Robert Emmit Dunlap and popularized by Tim O'Brien.

Lyrics

Patrick Mahomes’ Lament
(To the tune of Mick Ryan’s Lament by Tim O’Brien)

Well my name’s Pat Mahomes and I’m lying here still
In the lonely spot where my Chiefs were killed
By the green Eagles from Philadelphia
There’s no joy in KC this morning

I admit that I didn’t play worth a hoot
But my offensive line didn’t execute
Flat on my back from another damn sack
Their blitzes blew in without warning

And it’s over now, the whistle’s a-blowin’
Up there in Philly the beer will be flowin’
I swear if I had only known
I’d have traded my linemen to Pittsburgh

We had a good run going for three in a row
But this was a brutal curb-stomping, though
Our matador blocks and my crappy reads
Now Taylor Swift, too is in mourning

Well, the aftermath can be the saddest part
ESPN analysts can’t wait to start
No doubt they’ll be picking our game plan apart
We sucked is what they’ll be reporting

I’m young but I may not catch Tom Brady
Still one more and I’m tied for second place, baby
With Joe Montana and some old fat guy
Who won a few games up in Pittsburgh

But it’s over now, the whistle’s a-blowin’
Up there in Philly the beer will be flowin’
I swear if I had only known
I’d have traded my linemen to Pittsburgh
