Somewhere Between Old And New York (Album Version)

Somewhere Between Old And New York (Album Version) - Dave Grusin/Phoebe Snow/Lincoln Goines

Written by：Dave Loggin

For 60 years he shined shoes in the same spot

In the shadow of Yankee stadium

As he shines he hears the game

And in his mind he hears his name as if he played for them

Takes his turn at bat there's the pitch

He swings at it and it's gone

Back through the years he's gone

To take the field with Ruth and Gehrig bring the pennant home

He sees himself in pinstripes

In a lineup of his own

He's stranded on a Basepath

Somewhere between old and New York

As a customer asks for the shine

He snaps his cloth another inning ends

Dodgers come to bat there's a drive

He makes the catch to point he's tossed again

His cloth becomes a glove

As he's done with every customer he's known

Back through the years he's gone

To take the field with Maris and mantle

Bring the pennant home

He sees himself in pinstripes

In a lineup of his own

He's stranded on a Basepath

Somewhere between old and New York

Takes his turn at bat there's the pitch

He swings at it there it goes

Back through the years he goes

Ride a ticker tape parade with Joe Dimaggio

As he patiently signs an autograph

With a spit shine on a toe

He's stranded on a Basepath

Somewhere between old and New York

Oooooh

Between old and New York

Da da daaa

Oooooh

Between old and New York

Oooooh
