Centerfield Lyrics By John Fogerty

    well beat the drum and hold the phone
    the sun came out today
    we’re born again there’s new grass on the field
    aroundin’ third and headed for home
    it’s a browneyed handsome man
    anyone can understand the way i feel

    oh put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    look at me i can be centerfield

    well i spent some time in the mudville nine
    watchin’ it from the bench
    you know i took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out
    so say hey willie
    tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio
    don’t say it ain’t so
    you know the time is now

    oh put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    look at me i can be centerfield

    break

    yeah i got it i got it

    got a beatup glove a homemade bat and brandnew pair of shoes
    you know i think it’s time to give this game a ride
    just to hit the ball and touch ’em all
    a moment in the sun
    pop it’sa gone
    and you can tell that one goodbye

    oh put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    look at me yeah i can be centerfield

    oh put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    put me in coach
    i’m ready to play today
    look at me gotta be centerfield

    yeah
