Peter, Paul & Mary - Right Field Lyrics
Saturday summers, when I was a kidWed run to the schoolyard and heres what we didWed pick out the captains and wed choose up the teamsIt was always a measure of my self esteemCuz the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and firstThe last ones they picked were the worstI never needed to ask, it was sealed,I just took up my place in right field.Playing...Chorus:Right field, its easy, you know.You can be awkward and you can be slowThats why Im here in right fieldJust watching the dandelions growPlaying right field can be lonely and dullLittle leagues never have lefties that pullId dream of the day theyd hit one my wayThey never did, but still I would prayThat Id make a fantastic catch on the runAnd not lose the ball in the sunAnd then Id awake from this long reverieAnd pray that the ball never came out to meHere in...(chorus)Off in the distance, the games dragging on,Theres strikes on the batter, some runners are on.I dont know the inning, Ive forgotten the score.The whole team is yelling and I dont know what for.Then suddenly everyones looking at meMy mind has been wandering; what could it be?They point at the sky and I look up aboveAnd a baseball falls into my glove!Here in right field, its important you know.You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,Thats why Im here in right field, just watching the dandelions grow!
