Sam the Lion - The Ballpark

For a year I've lived by the ballpark
Where the major leaguers play
And for a year you have not been in my arms
'Cause I went and moved away
For a year I've lived by the ballpark
I've never once gone to a game
But I've wished that you were in my arms
Every single day
The traffic by the ballpark
Is a bear on game day
But it's the crumpled wreck of my heart
That ties me up this way
And there's children at the ballpark
And parents and grandparents too
And they all root for the home team
'Cause that's what good people do
But I've never really been into baseball
And I'm not easily amused
I've got a stubborn streak a mile long
And I was born to sing the blues
For a year I've lived by the ballpark
Where the major leaguers play
And for a year you have not been in my arms
'Cause I went and moved away
And there are some of us
Who make such a fuss
We spit, and swear and cuss
And seek refuge
'Cause the roaring of the crowd
Can get so damn loud
And I try to work it out
But what can I do?
So let's talk about forgiveness
About tolerance and such
And I hope that you can hear this
'Cause I love you so damn much
And I hope that we will remember
That we swore it was 'til the end
And at the end of this November
You'll take me back again
And maybe come next April
We can set aside a day
To go out to the ballpark
And watch the major leaguers play
