| Song | Fall of the Star High School Running Back |
| Artist | The Mountain Goats |
| Album | All Hail West Texas |
| 作词 : Darnielle | |
| Sophomore year | |
| You rushed for an average of eight and third yards per carry | |
| All eyes were on you | |
| Junior year | |
| You blew your knee out at an out town game | |
| Nowhere to go but down, down, down | |
| Nothing but the ground left for you to fall to | |
| By July | |
| You'd made a whole bunch of brand new friends | |
| People you used to look down on | |
| And you'd figured out a way to make real money | |
| Giving ends to your friends and it felt stupendous | |
| Chrome spokes on your Japanese bike | |
| But selling acid was a bad idea | |
| And selling it to a cop was a worse one | |
| And the new law said that seventeen year olds could do federal time | |
| You were the first one | |
| So I sing this song for you | |
| William Stanaforth Donahue | |
| Your grandfather rode the boat over from Ireland | |
| But you made a bad decision or two |
