《Right Field》歌词

[00:00:01] Right Field - Peter, Paul & Mary

[00:00:10] Saturday summers, when I was a kid

[00:00:14] We'd run to the schoolyard and here's what we did

[00:00:19] We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams

[00:00:24] It was always a measure of my self esteem

[00:00:28] 'Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first

[00:00:33] The last ones they picked were the worst

[00:00:36] I never needed to ask, it was sealed

[00:00:41] I just took up my place in right field

[00:00:49] Playing right field, it's easy you know

[00:00:55] You can be awkward, you can be slow

[00:01:00] That's why I'm here in right field

[00:01:03] Just watching the dandelions grow

[00:01:05] Playing right field can be lonely and dull

[00:01:15] Little leagues never have lefties that pull

[00:01:19] I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way

[00:01:24] They never did, but still I would pray

[00:01:28] That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run

[00:01:33] And not lose the ball in the sun

[00:01:37] And then I'd awake from this long reverie

[00:01:42] And pray that the ball never came out to me

[00:01:47] Here in right field, it's easy you know

[00:01:51] You can be awkward and you can be slow

[00:01:55] That's why I'm here in right field

[00:01:58] Just watching the dandelions grow

[00:02:31] Off in the distance the game's dragging on

[00:02:35] There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on

[00:02:40] I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score

[00:02:44] The whole team is yelling and I don't know what for

[00:02:48] Then suddenly everyone's looking at me

[00:02:52] My mind has been wandering, "What could it be?"

[00:02:58] They point at the sky and I look up above

[00:03:02] And a baseball falls into my glove

[00:03:18] Here in right field, it's important you know

[00:03:23] You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw

[00:03:28] That's why I'm here in right field

[00:03:31] Just watching the dandelions grow
