《The Kid from Spavinaw》歌词

[00:00:16] I was born in oklahoma

[00:00:23] 1931

[00:00:28] Outside the town of spavinaw

[00:00:33] Where the red dust clouds the sun

[00:00:40] And I ran beneath your diamond skies

[00:00:45] And I drank your waves of grain

[00:00:52] My name is mickey mantle

[00:00:54] Boys

[00:00:56] And baseball is my game

[00:01:05] My father's name was mutt

[00:01:11] Boy

[00:01:12] And he worked down in the mines

[00:01:17] He pitched to me in the evening

[00:01:23] At least a thousand times

[00:01:29] A thousand times again

[00:01:34] In my nightmare and my dreams

[00:01:39] You're going to live in the house that

[00:01:43] Ruth built

[00:01:44] Kid

[00:01:45] You're going to make that yankee team

[00:01:54] Sure enough

[00:01:56] The yankee scout comes drivin'

[00:02:01] Right down route 66

[00:02:02] He'd have never come to

[00:02:06] Spavinaw class d ball in the sticks

[00:02:17] But I happened to be playing in an old wood ball park

[00:02:25] Way out on the mother road

[00:02:28] That yankee scout he signed me and I went up to the the show

[00:02:42] Strike 1

[00:02:44] That was the drinkin'

[00:02:49] Strike 2

[00:02:50] There go the knees

[00:02:54] Then my old man died in denver

[00:02:59] Some type of lung disease

[00:03:05] When god starts throwing change ups

[00:03:10] You can't swing with fame or wealth

[00:03:23] If I'd known I's going to live this long

[00:03:39] I'd have taken care of myself

[00:03:41] I don't miss the lights of times square

[00:04:00] I don't miss toots shore's bar

[00:04:04] I miss my old man pitchin' baseball

[00:04:10] Near the shed in our backyard

[00:04:16] I wish that he were still alive

[00:04:21] To see these trophies on my shelf

[00:04:27] If I'd known I was going to live this long

[00:04:33] I'd have taken better care of myself

[00:04:41] I was born in oklahoma

[00:04:48] 1931outside the town of spavinaw

[00:04:58] Where the red dust clouds the sun
