Centerfield

John Fogerty


Well I beat the drum, and hold the phone, the sun came out today
We’re born again there’s new grass on the field

A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel, Oh

Chorus
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Look at me, I can be, centerfield

Well I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out

So say “Hey Willie, tell the Cobb, and Joe DiMaggio”
Don’t say it ain’t so you know the time is now, So

Chorus
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Look at me, I can be, centerfield

Instrumental

You got a beat up glove, a homemade bat, and a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it’s time, to give this game a ride

Just to hit the ball, an’ touch ’em all, a moment in the sun
It’s-a gone and you can tell that one goodbye, Oh

Chorus
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Look at me, I can be, Oh

Chorus
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today
Look at me, gotta be, centerfield

Yeah
