USFL, started in '83
ESPN was the place for football to see
USFL, had some teams like we do
To the NFL said, "meet somebody new"

(chorus)
USFL, USFL, born in '83 was USFL

USFL gave us future stars
Like Reggie White & Neuheishel, they came from wide & far
They played 14 games under stadium lights
And became games of the week every weekend night
(chorus)

USFL, giving future stars
on the football field that's wide & far
to seek for a pass on an interception
But in '85, that's where the headaches begin
(chorus)

In '85, took eternal rest
USFL folded in North, East, South & West
That's why classic fans came here to say
We can watch classic games on ESPN someday
(chorus)

I remember it well, the thing that brought to memory
Saw a game about Memphis vs. Denver to me
The 3 worst teams I really do know
Was Chicago, Tampa Bay and San Antonio
(chorus)

I still remember on one accord
Pray to bring it back to our commissoner lord
But no answer the league had brought
But in 2001, XFL was sought
(chorus)
