Lyrics

Crack of a bat, Rockies and Mets
nosebleeds with my dad, up high sun-kissed
mountain wind
Bichette hit a goner, damn near to Wewatta
dreamt on the drive back in a purple cap
everything’s calm here, everything’s green
I-80 in spring as far as my eyes could see
when you’re small, kid, so is your world and
it’s best they keep it like that, as long as they can
on the radio they’re cleaning Oklahoma up
axle of a Ryder truck hundreds of feet away
dad turns the volume down before they say the body count,
looks my way to say, “happy Opening Day”
here we are at ten, the Dakotas in summer
spent with my mother, brand new bat and glove
pale, white skin.
on a team called the “Tigers”, liked the coach’s daughter
come September, see why they call it a crush
everything’s quieter here, everything’s clean
I guess pine-sol is cheaper than therapy
when you’re young, kid, you don’t have the words yet
to say what you think - you soak in what you see
there’s a weight, you know, that keeps her in place
it’s a hat in the wind you can’t catch, but chase
sneak past the kitchen as she’s oiling your mitt
she says, ‘what are you still doing awake? Tomorrow’s opening day’
I fear we’ve always been silent
we bury our bodies in the backyard
get confused when we’re reminded
of our grief every time it floods
spend our lives with a desperate need for distraction
driving my son up 13 to Camden
convinced just today the world falls away
on the walk from the train to Eutaw Street
‘cause you’re young, kid, so is your world and,
while I can, I will keep it that way
It’s a ride that just don’t wait - happy opening day.
