歌词
I've been a baseball fan since I was a little boy
Had a bedroom full of little baseball toys
Bat and a ball and a Wilson glove
Yeah, me and the National Pastime, we were oh so in love
Every opening day, oh I still get that itch
I can hardly wait for that very first pitch
All my hopes and dreams all in place,
I got visions of my Tigers in the pennant race
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
I've been suffering in silence, year after year,
My beloved boys have brought me nothing but tears
But just when I thought I couldn't get any aloner
My sky opened up and my cup runneth over
Now everywhere I travel, people envy me
Every time I wear my Olde English D
Well you can keep the Yankees, Oakland too
And if you're a Cardinals fan, well, you're welcome
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
I get that old lovin' feelin'
Every time I see Jim Leyland
The bases are loaded, we gotta blow one by ya
He motions to the 'pen and brings in Joel Zumaya
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
We got Kenny Rogers, we got Marcus Thames,
We got Pudge Rodriguez, we got Brandon Inge
We got Andrew Miller, we got Roman Colon,
Placido Polanco and Todd Jones
We got Miner, Casey, Guillen and Magglio
Verlander and Bonderman, Maroth and Monroe
We got Wilson, Walker, Granderson, Robertson, Rodney
Grilli, Gomez, Shelton, Clevelen, and Omar Infante
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
Play Ball!
I get that old lovin' feelin'
Every time I see Jim Leyland
When the bases are loaded and we gotta blow one by ya
Well, hang on to your helmet, here comes Zoom-Zoom Zumaya
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
Well, let's be honest, we almost made it all the way
Well I frankly didn't think I'd ever see the day
But all the frustration every time we swung and missed
And when Granderson slipped, I almost slit my wrists
But just like back in '68 and '84,
They got us doing the wave and we've restored the roar
But still I'm standing outside them pearly gates of Heaven
And having St. Peter say, "Boys, see ya in 2007"
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
Let's go Tigers! (Let's go Tigers!)
Let's go Tigers! (Let's go Tigers!)
Let's go Tigers! (Let's go Tigers!)
Let's go Tigers! (Let's go Tigers!)
Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues
Oh, Win or lose, I've got them lifelong Tiger fan blues!
Go get 'em Tigers!
