A tale of Stoops

Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the heart of Youngstown, the story unfolds,
A legend was born, where courage molds.
He’s a South-sider, born with grit,
A tale of perseverance, never to quit.

[VERSE 1]
A coaching icon, his father so grand,
A Cardinal Mooney saint, with a steady hand.
From up above, he watches with pride,
As his son takes the field, heart open wide.

[CHORUS]
This is the Legend of a Youngstown son,
A leader, a mentor, the battle’s just begun.
The Axl Rose of Kentucky, with a heart so bright,
Bleeding blue and white, ready to fight.

[VERSE 2]
He walked into a school, that had a graveyard for football dreams,
Where passion was lost, or so it seems.
With fire in his heart, he took on the task,
To breathe life back into the questions we ask.

[CHORUS]
This is the Legend of a Youngstown son,
A leader, a mentor, the battle’s just begun.
The Axl Rose of Kentucky, with a heart so bright,
Bleeding blue and white, ready to fight.

[BRIDGE]
It was twenty twelve, when it all came alive,
He took fourth of a wildcat, the moment to strive.
Mark Stoops came out, with a plan in hand,
A vision for glory, a promise to stand.

[VERSE 3]
Will they forget the man who brought back the light?
A coach full of grit, a true hero’s fight.
He gave them the courage to strive for their dreams,
On that wildcat field, bursting at the seams.

[CHORUS]
This is the Legend of Youngstown’s son,
A leader, a mentor, the battle’s just begun.
The Axl Rose of Kentucky, with a heart so bright,
Bleeding blue and white, ready to fight.

[HOOK]
Stand up for Coach Stoops, let his truth be told,
A martyr, a friend, with a heart made of gold.
Who will fight for the man who brings hope to the game?
Together we’ll rise, lifting up his name.

[OUTRO]
So here’s to the south side, and legends so grand.
Coach, your father is proud.
So, Kentucky Nation is it united that you stand?
