[00:22.27]I used to sit with my dad in the garage
[00:25.34]That sawdust that pine sol and the moss
[00:27.84]Around every spring when the winter thaw
[00:30.35]We'd huddle around the radio twist the broken knob
[00:33.07]710 AM no KJR Dave Niehaus voice would echo throughout the yard
[00:38.49]Couldn't have been older than 10

[01:00.04]Yes  fire works they lit up ceiling in the king dome

[01:15.46]Late  The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship
[01:21.26]I don't believe it  It just continues  MY OH MY
[01:27.24]Laces woven barley holding that stitch
[01:29.72]The creases are time amongst the grime and the grit
[01:32.54]Where the leather he used to pound his fists
[01:34.45]To some it's just a mitt  but see that glove was him
[01:37.17]Yep  tell me stories on the field with that sun stained brim
[01:40.63]Blood under my chin  he taught me how to spit
[01:43.05]Sunflower seeds back when me and my crew sun burnt arms
[01:46.73]Big league chew  yeah we were like the sand lot after dinner
[01:50.11]After practice we listen to the M's in the kitchen
[01:52.92]And if mom wasn't trippin' come on dad please I swear just one more inning

[02:09.56]
[02:53.88]Under that light rain gleaming in that night came  can't stop now
[02:58.05]Keep moving no break pads came here to prove a point  live my life on the field
[03:02.72]Make history in between the base path
[03:05.13]And compete against the fear that is in me that's my only barrier and I swear I'm going to break that
[03:10.78]From the mud the cleats that we drug threw the feet this is that moment and you cannot take it back
[03:15.81]I don't really collect cards anymore, just a box and some old card board
[03:21.04]Memories embedded in the dust, in the fighters that age just like us living some where off in the drawer
[03:27.27]This is what you make of it yeah we play to win
[03:29.18]Live it like we're under the lights of the stadium fight until the day that God decided to wave us in
[03:35.49]Right until he waves us in
[03:37.86]It's my city my city childhood my life that's right right under those lights
[03:42.38]My city my city childhood that's right Niehaus
