Right Field - Peter, Paul & Mary[00:00:03]
Saturday summers, when I was a kid[00:00:10]
We'd run to the schoolyard and here's what we did[00:00:15]
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams[00:00:20]
It was always a measure of my self esteem[00:00:24]
'Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first[00:00:29]
The last ones they picked were the worst[00:00:33]
I never needed to ask, it was sealed[00:00:38]
I just took up my place in right field[00:00:43]
Playing right field, it's easy you know[00:00:49]
You can be awkward, you can be slow[00:00:56]
That's why I'm here in right field[00:01:00]
Just watching the dandelions grow[00:01:03]
Playing right field can be lonely and dull[00:01:10]
Little leagues never have lefties that pull[00:01:15]
I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way[00:01:20]
They never did, but still I would pray[00:01:25]
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run[00:01:29]
And not lose the ball in the sun[00:01:34]
And then I'd awake from this long reverie[00:01:39]
And pray that the ball never came out to me[00:01:43]
Here in right field, it's easy you know[00:01:48]
You can be awkward and you can be slow[00:01:53]
That's why I'm here in right field[00:01:58]
Just watching the dandelions grow[00:02:01]
Off in the distance the game's dragging on[00:02:29]
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on[00:02:34]
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score[00:02:39]
The whole team is yelling and I don't know what for[00:02:44]
Then suddenly everyone's looking at me[00:02:48]
My mind has been wandering, "What could it be?"[00:02:53]
They point at the sky and I look up above[00:02:57]
And a baseball falls into my glove[00:03:02]
Here in right field, it's important you know[00:03:09]
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw[00:03:17]
That's why I'm here in right field[00:03:21]
Just watching the dandelions grow[00:03:24]
