“Centerfield” Lyrics - John Fogerty

Lyrics

“Centerfield”


Well, a-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, 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


Oh, 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


Yeah, I got it, I got it


Got a beat-up glove, a home-made 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, and touch ’em all

A moment in the sun

It’s a-gone and you can tell that one good-bye


Oh, put me in coach, I’m ready to play today

Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today

Look at me (yeah), I can be centerfield


Oh, 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
