Lyrics for Song: Right Field
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Peter Paul And Mary
Saturday summers, when I was a kid
Wed run to the schoolyard and heres what we did
Wed pick out the captains and wed choose up the teams
It was always a measure of my self esteem
Cuz the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the worst
I never needed to ask, it was sealed,
I just took up my place in right field.
Playing...
Chorus:
Right field, its easy, you know.
You can be awkward and you can be slow
Thats why Im here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow
Playing right field can be lonely and dull
Little leagues never have lefties that pull
Id dream of the day theyd hit one my way
They never did, but still I would pray
That Id make a fantastic catch on the run
And not lose the ball in the sun
And then Id awake from this long reverie
And pray that the ball never came out to me
Here in...
(chorus)
Off in the distance, the games dragging on,
Theres strikes on the batter, some runners are on.
I dont know the inning, Ive forgotten the score.
The whole team is yelling and I dont know what for.
Then suddenly everyones looking at me
My mind has been wandering; what could it be?
They point at the sky and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove!
Here in right field, its important you know.
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,
Thats why Im here in right field, just watching the dandelions grow!
