Sometimes I Dream of Willie Mays
It's 1965, me and my dad Mac
50 miles to Candlestick in our green VW van
A Giants-Dodgers pennant race
Mays and Koufax face to face
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the sun comes out, and the fog lifts, and he's there
Now it's 1973, right across the bay
Playing right field for the Mets, a ball goes through his legs
I cheer the A's to victory
But that was something I never wanted to see
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down, and the sun comes out, and the fog lifts, and he's there
In 1954, I was born into this dream
The kind that's always black and white, like an old newsreel I've seen
A mile away in the Polo Grounds
He pulls it in and spins himself around
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down, and the sun comes out, and the scoreboard works, and the fog lifts, and he's there
And I'm there
50 miles to Candlestick in our green VW van
A Giants-Dodgers pennant race
Mays and Koufax face to face
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the sun comes out, and the fog lifts, and he's there
Now it's 1973, right across the bay
Playing right field for the Mets, a ball goes through his legs
I cheer the A's to victory
But that was something I never wanted to see
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down, and the sun comes out, and the fog lifts, and he's there
In 1954, I was born into this dream
The kind that's always black and white, like an old newsreel I've seen
A mile away in the Polo Grounds
He pulls it in and spins himself around
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down, and the sun comes out, and the scoreboard works, and the fog lifts, and he's there
And I'm there
