Creedence Clearwater Revival echoes throughout this solo album . John Fogerty sings a chorus that every child, who has participated in sports, has thought at least once.
Centerfield
by John C. Fogerty (1985)
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;You know I took some 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.
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
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!
Yeah!
