歌词
I used to sit with my dad in the garage

That sawdust that pine sol and the moss

Around every spring when the winter thaw
每年冬日冰雪消融 春天来临时
We'd huddle around the radio twist the broken knob
我们打开老旧收音机的旋钮 一起围坐在收音机旁
710 AM no KJR Dave Niehaus voice would echo throughout the yard
710调幅频道里戴夫尼豪斯的声音会响彻整个院子
Couldn't have been older than 10

But to me and my friends
但这对于我和我的朋友们来说
The voice on the other end might as well have been God's
收音机另一边的声音犹如上帝之音

Swung on and belted the words that started Joey Cora rounds third

Laces woven barley holding that stitch

The creases are time amongst the grime and the grit

Where the leather he used to pound his fists
手套皮革也曾无数次碰撞着他的拳头(接棒球)
To some it's just a mitt but see that glove was him

Yep tell me stories on the field with that sun stained brim
是的 在骄阳染上黄昏色时 父亲总会给我讲故事
Blood under my chin he taught me how to spit
和我的聊天的时候 教我如何吐痰
Sunflower seeds back when me and my crew sun burnt arms

And if mom wasn't trippin' come on dad please I swear just one more inning

Voice went pump pump through the system break out the Rye bread it's grand salami time
妈妈脚步声打破了这一切 于是...拿出黑麦面包 到了吃萨拉米香肠的时候了
My oh My another victory yes my city my city

Childhood my life watching Griffey right under those lights
童年生活 看着格里菲闪耀在球场的灯光下
Under that light rain gleaming in that night came can't stop now

Keep moving no break pads came here to prove a point live my life on the field

And compete against the fear that is in me that's my only barrier and I swear I'm going to break that

From the mud the cleats that we drug threw the feet this is that moment and you cannot take it back
在泥泞中 防滑钉使我们无惧踏步向前 你无法将此刻抹去
I don't really collect cards anymore, just a box and some old card board

Memories embedded in the dust, in the fighters that age just like us living some where off in the drawer
埋藏在尘埃中的记忆 那些与我们相同时代的战士们也将过往存放在抽屉里
This is what you make of it yeah we play to win

Live it like we're under the lights of the stadium fight until the day that God decided to wave us in
我们要像站在球场灯光下一样闪耀的活着 直到有一天上帝决定挥手让我们来到这灯光下
