Leonard To the tune of Haggard's hit song

When Leonard finally came to Death Valley
He was 19 years old as I recall
He loved to run the football and score touchdowns
And He came to hang a trophy on the wall

The team for which he plays for is important
And you’ll know the team I mean by time I’m through
He quickly became a famous football player
But Leonard is a name he hardly used

He’s on his way to having what he’s always wanted
They say he’ll win the Heisman when this year’s done
But he remains a selfless, real team player
And that’s why they will finish number one

The folks in purple & gold can get rowdy
They love their hot boudin and cold coush-coush
These fans can start the stadium start to shaking
When they watch the offensive line start to push

So far this year he leads all schools in rushing
No team’s defense has slowed him down at all
When he has the ball they’re ain’t no way to stop him
So Les & Cam say give Fournette the ball

(Spoken)
Leonard gives the opposing coaches problems
They all just stand around and scratch their heads
No matter what they try he runs right past them
(Sung) When he gets the ball their eyes are filled with dread

When the game is on the line he gets the football
Sometimes I wonder how he carries such a load
But in him is a fighting tiger spirit
When God made him He must’ve broke the mold

Really I’m not trying to hide his showname
Nor the team for which he plays in Baton Rouge
Somehow I had to write a song for Buga
‘Cause we all love number seven at LSU

When Leonard finally came to Death Valley
He was 19 years old as I recall
He loved to run the football and score touchdowns
And He came to hang a trophy on the wall

You're not truly a Legend until somebody writes a country ballad about you that rhymes.
Congratulations, Leonard Legend.
