[Verse 1]
Saturday summers when I was a kid
We'd run to the schoolyard, here's what we did
We'd pick out the captains, we'd choose up the teams
It was always a measure of my self esteem
'Cause the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the worst
I never needed to ask, it was sealed
I just took up my place in right field
[Chorus]
Playing right field, it's easy you know
You can be awkward and you can be slow
That's why I'm here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow
[Verse 2]
Playing right field can be lonely and dull
Little Leagues never have lefties that pull
I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way
They never did, but still I would pray
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run
And not lose the ball in the sun
And then I'd awake from this long reverie
And pray that the ball never came out to me
