Mitchell Hood - Born to Win

Born to win; hate to lose
Born to don the pads and shoes
Born to play a player's game
Born to set your soul aflame
Born to throw a touchdown pass
Born to knock you on your ass
Born to persist; never yield
Born to spill blood on a grassy field
Born to outdirve, outrun, outlast
Born too strong, too smart, too fast
Born to leave you all in shock
Born to grace the Wheaties box
Born to go the extra mile
Born to play the game in style
Born to leap, almost fly
Born for pressure; do or die
Born to break the rules; play the game my way
Born to live or die on any given Sunday
