Centerfield (Fogerty's Factory Version)

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, gotta be center field

Well, I spent some time with the Mudville Nine
Watching it from the bench
You know I took my lumps
When the Mighty Case' struck out
So say, "Hey Willie", tell the Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so you know the time is now

So, 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 center field

Got a beat up glove, a homemade bat
And a 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 a-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
Now, put me in coach, ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be center field
Yeah

Yes, play ball
