[00:14.041]It was one for the ages
[00:16.493]One you just had to see
[00:19.237]So I sat on the sofa
[00:20.995]My two kids and I
[00:22.036]And we watched on TV
[00:24.623]And it was in the fifth inning
[00:27.210]The game had to be stopped
[00:29.957]The whole ballpark went nuts
[00:32.691]When the number was dropped
[00:35.392]My kids they clapped and they hollered
[00:38.060]Me, I choked up with tears
[00:40.730]Thinking back on the grace
[00:42.594]He brought to that place
[00:43.691]For over thirteen years
[00:46.068]And as he stood in the spotlight
[00:48.528]He looked so awkward and shy
[00:51.233]And when they asked him to say
[00:52.996]A few words on that day
[00:54.313]This was his reply:
[00:56.766]“I’m only doing my job like folks everywhere
[01:02.435]Where I come from, it’s just how things are done
[01:05.457]Doing your share
[01:07.715]I did not love every part, still I’ll not think it odd
[01:13.420]Give it my best, to hell with the rest.
[01:17.017]Doin’ my job”
[01:29.966]She gets up every morning
[01:32.654]She gets the kids out the door
[01:35.327]Then it’s carpool and shop
[01:37.439]It’s vacuum and mop
[01:38.318]Until they’re back home at four
[01:40.782]Then it’s supper and homework
[01:43.497]Until they’re all tucked away
[01:45.809]Then it’s a kiss and goodnight
[01:48.168]It’s turn out the light
[01:49.316]For the four thousandth day.
[01:51.815]She’s only doing her job like folks everywhere
[01:57.237]Where she comes from, it’s just how things are done
[02:00.320]Doing her share
[02:02.738]She does not love every part, still she’ll not think it odd
[02:08.364]To give it her best, to hell with the rest.
