 I used to sit with my dad in the 
garage
 That sawdust that pine sol and the 
moss
 Around every spring when the winter
 thaw
 We'd huddle around the radio twist 
the broken knob

 710 AM no KJR Dave Niehaus voice 
would echo throughout the yard
                C
 Couldn't have been older than 10
 But to me and my friends
           C
 The voice on the other end might as
 well have been God's

 Edgars up to bat
 Bottom of the 11th inning got the 
  C
whole town listening,
                    C
 Swung on and belted the words that 
started, Joey Cora rounds third
  Em                       G

 Laces woven barley holdin' that 
stitch
 The creases are time amongst the 
grime and the grit
 Where the leather he used to pound 
his fists
 To some it's just a mitt, but see 
that glove was him
                C
 Yep, tell me stories on the field 
with that sun stained brim

 Blood under my chin, he taught me 
how to spit
