Talkin’ baseball!  
The Man and Bobby Feller.  
The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc,  
They knew 'em all from Boston to Dubuque.  
Especially Willie, Mickey, and the Duke.

Time to never hold our love

8 years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck  
He climbed up on the garage, he’s figurin’ “what the heck”  
Screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound  
He got a running start then - bless his heart - he headed for the ground

The crystal ship is being filled  
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills  
A million ways to spend your time  
When we get back, I’ll drop a line

Woman of a thousand years  
How are your sons of a time ago?  
Do they still admire your silvered ways  
As you go down  
To the sea and the golden sand
