Centerfield — текст песни (John Fogerty)

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We`re born again, there`s new grass on the field.
A-roundin` third, and headed for home, it`s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

CHORUS:
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.

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin` it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don`t say it ain`t so, you know the time is now.

CHORUS

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it`s time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch `em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) It`s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

CHORUS
CHORUS
Yeah!
