Lyrics

Shortstop

written by Steve Taylor
Copyright © 2000 Soylent Tunes/Squint Songs (ASCAP)

Some for the money, some for the show
Some for the credit, some expect it from the get go
Some get bush-leagued, some win the rings
Some get high reflecting glory that the good Lord brings

CHORUS

Shortstop, standing in the lurch
Bridging faith and field research
High-wire balance, every move is inspired
Hedge you bets and handicaps
Shortstop's here to mind the gaps
Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired?
Who will rise up?
Some get lazy, fake like they're lame
Some warm benches, got no passion for the big game
Who's got spirit? Who do you love?
Who's right hand is firmly planted in a golden glove?

(CHORUS)

And the moral of the story?
Never send a towel-snappin', cup-adjusting, glory-grabbin', full o'bologna, sanctimony-spewing rookie in to do a big man's job
Yessirree Bob

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

Who will rise up?
