saturday summers when i was a kid we d run to the schoolyard and here s what we did we d pick out the captains and 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 oh i never needed to ask it was sealed i just took up my place in right field playing right field it s easy you know you can be awkward you can be slow that s why i m here in right field just watching the dandelions grow 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 here in right field it s easy you know you can be awkward you can be slow that s why i m here in right field just watching the dandelions grow off in the distance the game s dragging on there s strikes on the batter some runners are on i don t know the inning i ve forgotten the score the whole team is yelling and i don t know what for then suddenly everyone s looking at me my mind has been wandering what could it be they point to the sky and i look up above and a baseball falls into my glove  here in right field it s important you know you gotta know how to catch you gotta know how to throw that s why i m here in right field just watching the dandelions grow
