Saturday summers, when I was a kid |
| [00:14.250] |
We'd run to the schoolyard and here's what we did |
| [00:18.930] |
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams |
| [00:23.468] |
It was always a measure of my self esteem |
| [00:28.424] |
Cuz the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and first |
| [00:32.875] |
The last ones they picked were the worst |
| [00:37.356] |
I never needed to ask, it was sealed, |
| [00:42.408] |
I just took up my place in right field. Playing |
| [00:49.899] |
Right field, it's easy, you know. |
| [00:54.058] |
You can be awkward and you can be slow |
| [00:58.822] |
That's why I'm here in right field |
| [01:01.506] |
Just watching the dandelions grow |
| [01:07.919] |
Playing right field can be lonely and dull |
| [01:12.907] |
Little Leagues never have lefties that pull |
| [01:17.698] |
I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way |
| [01:22.298] |
They never did, but still I would pray |
| [01:27.401] |
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run |
| [01:32.162] |
And not lose the ball in the sun |
| [01:37.214] |
And then I'd awake from this long reverie |
| [01:41.251] |
And pray that the ball never came out to me. Here in |
| [01:46.130] |
Here in right field, it's important you know. |
| [01:50.646] |
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw, |
| [01:55.621] |
That's why I'm here in right field, just watching the dandelions grow! |
| [02:04.275] |
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on, |
| [02:30.627] |
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on. |
| [02:35.079] |
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score. |
| [02:39.861] |
The whole team is yelling and I don't know what for. |
| [02:44.520] |
Then suddenly everyone's looking at me |
| [02:49.212] |
My mind has been wandering; what could it be? |
| [02:53.799] |
They point at the sky and I look up above |
| [02:58.413] |
And a baseball falls into my glove! |
| [03:05.728] |
Here in right field, it's important you know. |
| [03:12.648] |
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw, |
| [03:17.172] |
That's why I'm here in right field, just watching the dandelions grow! |
