lyrics

dummy hoy lived to
ninety nine years old
he was a major leaguer
he had several homes
now whats the lesson?
you might beg to tell
stick to a proven pattern
and swing like hell
you just might get to
make a dollar for someone else
and maybe they will let you
have something for yourself

a change up the first strike
a little sweat on the brow

when the signs that they give you
aren’t the ones that you know
it’s okay to judge by faces
it’s okay to feel alone
if you’re not sure that you’ll make it
round 3rd base to home
in the heat of the moment
you have to set the tone
you might have to break a sweat
you might have to break a bone
and you should place your bets
just dont make them known

a fastball thats two strikes
little more sweat on the brow

poor old shoeless joe jackson
didn’t even take the cash
now i beg you to tell me
where’s the lesson in that?
the green stays on the jersey
no matter how you act
the red stains are not dirty
they’re just hits from the past
i guess no one gets off cleanly
i guess nothin really lasts
if you’ve got it hold it tightly
there are no easy at bats
