First Year in Brandon

When I moved to brandon I expected to play

But was then asked to manage...boy was that gay

It was too late to leave, I was locked into school

I showed up to class and hoped things would be cool

Now classes were easy, you could say they were a joke

But outside of school I was Seriously BROKE

I went on the hunt to get some cash flow

Where I wound up serving tables at a joint called Echo

The weeks turned to months and things weren't so bad

Even Christmas was saved by my buddy T-brad

During the night it was parties and drinking

I met some great girls, and a few "WHAT WAS I THINKING?!" 's

I finished my first year and school had gone swell

Nothing lower than a "B" with a few "A's" as well

Now year one 's almost over, and surprise, I'm still here

Gonna play college basketball for the first time next year

So what can I say about this small unknown town

Well for starters the people, best ones around

If you threw the girls in a pageant, they'd all tie for 1st

And aside from their beauty, they're all down to earth

The days still pass by, and the first year is through

So I wait to find out the mysteries of year two
