Another Bottom Of The 5th

C'mon
He had a cannon of an arm
And his eyes were cold as steal
The year the Dodgers brought him up
I saw him pitch at Ebbets field
Now there's a pain in his arm where the rocket used to be
And he's sitting at the bar, watching baseball on TV

 
Another bottom of the fifth
Another bottle full of memories
The last game of the series
He fanned five in a row
Another bottom of the fifth
And his mind is going places
He's racing around the bases
Sometimes missing home


He was raised on a farm
His daddy taught him how to throw
Drew a bulls eye on the barn
He made him hit it until he made a hole
The year the scouts came down and his daddy was proud to the bone
Yeah he was king of the hill but now the diamonds turned to stone

 
Another bottom of the fifth
Yeah another bottle full of memories
The last game of the series
He fanned five in a row
Another bottom of the fifth
And his mind is going places
He's racing around the bases
Sometimes missing home
Missing home
Yeah he's missing home
