lyrics
Well the lord blessed me with a runner's build,
but the devil threw in a wandering mind.
And I been sent back to the minor league,
now it's only a matter of time...
Well I know they'll wise up to me,
one of these days...
'Cause I've been reading Tennyson while they run drills,
I'm out until the sunrise just to get my fill.
I'm always out the window when the steady gets home,
oh I'll be just fine
when I hit the Mendoza Line.
Dear Shirley,
I know it's been a while,
but I still think about that summer night.
And I know Tulsa is half a world away,
and it was only a drink and a smile.
But maybe I'll see you 'round,
one of these days...
'Cause I've been reading Shelley while they do grapevines,
some Irish in my coffee just to open my eyes,
hell, maybe one day you might see me in City Lights,
