Right Field - ปีเตอร์ คอร์ป ไดเรนดัล/Paul/Mary

Saturday summers when I was a kid

We'd run to the schoolyard

And here's what we did

We'd pick out the captains

And we'd choose up the teams

It was always a measure of my self esteem

Cause 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 right field

It's easy you know

You can be awkward

You can be slow

That's why I'm here in right field

Just watching the dandelions grow

Playing right field can be lonely and dull

Little leagues never have lefties that pull

I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way

They never did but still I would pray

That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run

And not lose the ball in the sun

And then I'd awake from this long reverie

And pray that the ball never came out to me

Here in right field

It's easy you know

You can be awkward

And you can be slow

That's why I'm here in right field

Just watching the dandelions grow

Off in the distance

The game's dragging on

There's strikes on the batter

Some runners are on

I don't know the inning

I've forgotten the score

The whole team is yelling

And I don't know what for

Then suddenly everyone's 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 it's important you know

You gotta know how to catch

You gotta know how to throw

That's why I'm here in right field

Just watching the dandelions grow
