Minor Leaguer

Garden roamer
Coulda sworn I had the plot figured out
But this season's over
Can barely keep my plants alive
Lost the keys to my hometown
One day I know
Won't be able to call my old man on the phone

Veins stuck up like airwaves
Sorry for the times that I
Brushed off your advice
Sing me to bed
What the night had marked in red
A mama's boy
Watching dad sports
I've been try'n since '94

T-T-Take me home
Nine-minute mile
Career minor leaguer forcing a smile
Once a promising ride
If it's the end then at least we can say that we tried

Part-time showman
And a suitcase roam an empty carousel
Heading out to nowhere
Tryna fit but hit the curb
Don't stop, the screen's black
Sing me to bed
What the night had marked in red
A mama's boy
Watching dad sports
I've been trying since '94

T-T-Take me home
Feeling Good
Nine-minute mile
Career minor leaguer forcing a smile
The boys dressed in blue
Are back on TV disappointing me too
Once a promising ride
If it's the end then at least we can say that we tried

T-T-Take me home
Feeling Good
Another new season starts soon
Something sweet out of the blue
Take me home
