Watching the final game on TV
Here comes the pich from Mr. Tom Henke
The pennant is won, it's 1989
And there's a new goal that's burning in my mind.
Got a new glove for my birthday that year
Combine with a bat and now ya have no fear
I practiced real good, and ya I practiced real hard
I made a diamond in my backyard.
Playin' some baseball in 1989
And I say wow
It is just baseball, ya I think that I'll do just fine
But I need help.
I put on my glove and went to second base
That runner was stealing, umpire called him safe
So I went to the outfield for the rest of that game
But we were the champs, we put the others to shame.
George Bell is gone and so is Lloyd Moseby
The infield is dominated by Manny Lee
Tony Fernandez, Kelly Gruber, McGriff
Dave Stieb's on the mound, ya man he's got the gift.
Playin' the outfield in 1991
And I say wow
If Mookie Wilson were here ya I think that it might be fun
But I need help.
Kelly Gruber got a triple play
Here comes Joe Carter now to save the day
Roberto Alomar was number one
And I got some tips from Mr. Juan Guzman
Patty Hentgen taught me to stay loose
Jonny Olerud has got the juice
Devon White, Pat Borders each have two rings
Two years in a row they were the baseball kings.
They won the World Series in 1992, 93
And I say wow
How could all of this nonsense have such a great effect on me?
And I say wow
Collective Bargaining in 1994
This really sucks
I've had it with baseball
I refuse to touch my glove anymore...
Please forgive me
Cito Gaston
Cito Gaston
Please forgive me
I need help.
Thanks to Ana (oneforthebraves@hotmail.com) for these lyricsYou got exactly what you wanted
As you left your friends behind
I’ll catch you around-
I’ll see you later - I say So Long
Why bother wasting all my time?
To all the people who denied me - So long, So long
And kept me one step behind - So Long
How long did you think you could lie to me - So Long, So Long
I saw through you one last time - So Long
All those times that it was me and you
And we we’re always hanging out
You think it’s my fault that you changed -
I say So Long
I finally know what you're about
What the fuck did you just say to me - So Long, So Long
You never liked me anyway - So Long
Now the truth seems to be coming out - So Long, So Long
It’s getting better everyday - So Long
What you want to do?
I can see right thru you
I let you have your say
Who are you anyway?
What the fuck did you just say to me - So Long, So Long
You never liked me anyway - So Long
Now the truth seems to be coming out - So Long, So Long
It’s getting better everyday - So Long
Here we are it’s just me and you
I never said it be the same
Times have changed
All I want to say is - So Long
I guess some friendships are in vain
Think exactly what you to think - So Long, So Long
All your thoughts are lies - So Long
There’s nothing more you can say to me - So Long, So Long
I guess this is goodbye - So Long
