Lyrics

Mister, you're a baseball man As anyone can plainly see Greatest game in this great land Take a little tip from me I work here nights parking cars Underneath the moon and the stars Same ones that we all knew Back in 1952 And if you wanna know Where a local boy like me is coming from 3rd base, Dodger Stadium 2nd base, right over there I see Grandma in her rocking chair Watching linens flapping in the breeze And all the fellows choosing up their teams Hand over hand on that Louisville Crowning the top king of the hill Mound to home, sixty feet Baseball been very good to me And if you wanna know Where a local boy like me is coming from 3rd base, Dodger Stadium 3rd base, Dodger Stadium Back around the 76 ball Johnny Greeneyes had his shoeshine stall In the middle of the 1st base line Got my first kiss, Florencia was kind Now, if the dozer hadn't taken my yard You'd see the tree with our initials carved So many moments in my memory Well sure was fun, 'cause the game was free It was free Hey Mister, you seem anxious to go You'll find that seat in the 7th row Behind home plate, we used to meet When we were young, we had dreams Just a place you don't know Up a road you can't go Just a thought, laid to rest In my mind, just a time You care to know where I'm gonna go When I hit my last home run 3rd base, Dodger Stadium 3rd base, Dodger Stadium 3rd base, Dodger Stadium Hey Mister, you are a baseball man Yes, I'm a baseball man myself Yes, I'm a baseball man too Baseball been very good to me Yes, baseball been very good to me
