Doc Gooden - The Mountain Goats

Wheels down in Seattle

Three years ago, in this town

They sent their best and brightest to me

I sent them all back down

Deluxe coach to the ballpark

There’s champagne on the snack trays

Summon up the spirit of a brighter time

Looked bad last week against the Blue Jays

When my name was everywhere

None of you were there

When my name was everywhere

Potholes in the parking lot

You feel the jolts a little harder every year

The bat boy hands out yellow slickers

It never stops raining out here

When my name was everywhere

None of you were there

When my name was everywhere

When the speedball would squeal

With the highlight reel

When the headline hype

Was on the front page in extra-large type

It was me, for all the world to see

Don’t call it a comeback

I’ve been here for years

Maximum respect to all the warriors

Who choose to fall down on their spears

When my name was everywhere

None of you were there

When my name was everywhere
