Centerfield Lyrics

John Fogerty - Centerfield
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and 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 watchin it from the bench
s
You know I took some lumps when the mighty case 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.
Int (same as intro)
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
(pop) it's 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 centerfield.
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.
