reckless kelly - 42 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the joy of the new season
we’d ride our bikes for miles
to a vacant lot on maple street
toss the bat and choose up sides
all summer long from dusk ’til dawn
we all paid our dues
everybody was the babe
but i was always 42
and as the jerseys faded one by one
the babes would come and go
but i played every inning
from the sandlot to the show

[chorus]
got my letter and my grip
i’ll see you boys around
got a one way ticket to cooperstown
my ticket’s punched to cooperstown

[verse 2]
his rookie year, they called him up
just to send him down
couldn’t even hit his weight
couldn’t turn that thing around
but on the field that echoes life
it’s a boys’ game played by men
sometimes it knocks you down
but you get back up again
[chorus]
he’s got his number, he’s got his grip
he’s following a sound
destiny is calling from cooperstown
these wheels are bound for cooperstown

[verse 3]
well, i learned to play down in triple a
and they gave me one more shot
skip said, “take the ball, kid, touch ’em all
gotta give it all you got”
so i played ‘er one game at a time
and that was all it took
and just like jack i never looked back
and the rest is in the books

[chorus]
there ain’t nothin’ i can’t do
just like 42
what goes around comes around
these wheels are bound for cooperstown
these wheels are bound for cooperstown
