Centerfield Lyrics

Well beat the drum, hold the phone, the sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
I'm still roundin' third, headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel
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, I'm watchin' it from the bench
You know I took my 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
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

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
It's a-gone and you can tell that one goodbye
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

Oh put me in Coach, I'm ready to play, today
Well put me in Coach, I'm ready to play, today
Look at me, gotta be Centerfield
Yeah!
