Centerfield

Don't say it ain't so, you know the time is now
Well, I spent some time in the Mud ville Nine, watchin' it from the bench
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
So say hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
You know I took some lumps when the mighty Casey struck out
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all, a moment in the sun
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride

A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Look at me, can I be centerfield?
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today

Look at me, I can be centerfield

It's gone and you can't tell that one goodbye
Look at me, I can be centerfield
Yeah, I got it, I got it
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
