With apologies to Willie Nelson

The City of New Orleans
by: Reggie Bush

Drafted by the city of New Orleans,
Overrated, hell; you shoulda took me number one
At USC, you know I won the Heisman,
I averaged way more than three-point-five per run.
Now I’m in the NFC
Where nearly everyone’s as fast as me
And they all hit harder than those pussies out at Cal.
Shelden Brown nearly knocked me out,
I can’t believe Drew hung me out
I made fun of his mole, but I thought we were still pals.

CHORUS:
Good morning NFL, how are you?
Don’t you know me I’m the chosen one,
I’m the running back they call The Next Gale Sayers,
But, I’ll be returning punts in Cleveland by the time I’m done.

Getting throttled by Indy in the season opener.
I’d look better if no one was keeping score.
Thank god we still have Deuce McAllister,
I had 12 carries and sure didn’t want no more.
And the writers for the papers
And the hacks at ESPN
Continue to talk out of their ass.
Thank you Charlie Casserly,
For taking Mario and not me
You got fired, but I get a free pass.

Hello, NFL, how are you?
Don’t you know me I’m the chosen one,
I’m the running back they call The Next Gale Sayers,
But, I’ll be returning punts in Cleveland by the time I’m done.

Nighttime in The City of New Orleans,
Kim Kardashian coming over soon.
My USC education was awesome
Matt Leinart showed me how to snag hot poon.
And all the fans down in Houston
Are starting to change their song
About whether they wish I was in Liberty White.
Some are still hung up on Vince,
But my name no longer makes them wince,
They whisper “Hey, maybe we actually drafted right.”

Good night, NFL , how are you?
Don’t you know me I’m the chosen one,
I’m the running back they call The Next Gale Sayers,
But, I’ll be returning punts in Cleveland by the time I’m done.

    Beautiful. I was never happier than when the Texans passed on Reggie Bush. You’re spot on, he’ll be Dante Hall before his career is over and nothing more. I wasn’t super thrilled with the selection of Mario (I wanted a trade down and D’Brickashaw Ferguson), but I still liked him better than Reggie Bush last year, let alone how this year is shaping up.

    Beyond slow. I am literally doing nothing but playing on the internets.
