Centerfield Lyrics - The Long Road Home: Ultimate John Fogerty Creedence Collection - 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 

Just 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 Center field 

Well, I spent some time with the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench 

You know I took my lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out 

So say "Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe Di Maggio" 

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 gotta be Center field 

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and 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 gone and you can tell that one goodbye! 

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 

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 gotta be Center field 

Yeah!
