Doc Gooden

Wheels down in Seattle Three years ago in this town They sent their best and brightest to me I sent them all back down Deluxe coach to the ballpark There's champagne on the snack trays Summon up the spirit of a brighter time Looked bad last week against the Blue Jays When my name was everywhere None of you were there When my name was everywhere Potholes in the parking lot You feel the jolts a little harder every year The bat boy hands out yellow slickers It never stops raining out here When my name was everywhere None of you were there When my name was everywhere When the speedball would squeal With the highlight reel When the headline hype Was on the front page in extra large type It was me, for all the world to see Don't call it a comeback I've been here for years Maximum respect to all the warriors Who choose to fall down on their spears When my name was everywhere None of you were there When my name was everywhere --- Doc Gooden - The Mountain Goats
