He enjoys and appreciates the moment.” The song is catchy (except for fans of maize and blue), with lines like “Tough as nails, I bring the hammer… Ran through Oregon, Wisconsin, ran through Alabama” and “They going left, then I go right… 150 and a touch(down), that’s a slow night.” Elliott ran for 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns last season.
