Minor League Rag

Lyrics

The Song About the Minor Leagues

I been on the road for many days
I ain’t got money and hope to get paid
I’m 0-2 here and 0-3 there
I got wild pitches and a bunch of careless errors

Fans don’t come cause we don’t win
I’m not sure we will win again
The checks don’t seem to be on time
Skipper gonna hit me with another fine

Chorus
Players come and Players go
We all dream to get to the show
Don’t you get sad
Don’t you get mad
All you got to do is believe in the Minor League Rag

The checks don’t seem to be on time
Skipper gonna hot me with another fine
My shirts to big and my pants are to tight
I’m to tired to sleep at night

My belly is empty and I got no strength
I can’t afford a soft boiled egg
My arm feels dead but I won’t tell
I’d rather pitch then to go to hell

I’ve got a friend who pitch the other day
He got a really bad ERA
It used to be 20 and know its 22
WO HO I wonder what they are gonna do

Chorus
Players come and players go
We all dream to get the show
Don’t you get sad
Don’t you get mad
All you got to do is believe in the Minor League Rag

There is always a fan up in the crowd
His mouth is Big and really loud
He used to play when he was young
He couldn’t Hit He couldn’t Throw or Run

Chorus
Players come and players go
We all dream to get to the show
Don’t you get sad
Don’t you get mad
All you got to do is believe in the Minor League Rag

Well the minors seems like an aimless flight
But a chance at the show keeps us all in the fight
There money up there for us all
If down here we don’t slip or fall

Our falls could be long or our falls can be short
It all hangs on the coaches reports
If we can get there we all know
Its only up to us as we make it to the Show

Chorus
Players come and players go
We all dream to get to the show
Don’t you get sad
Don’t you get mad
All you got to do is believe in the Minor League Rag

Chorus
Players come and players go
We all dream to get to the show
Don’t you get sad
Don’t you get mad
All you got to do is believe in the Minor League Rag
