Long Before My Time Songtext
von The Baseball Project

The summer game has let me down, standing lonely on the mound
A crossroads only I can see, between oblivion and destiny
My mind and body say I′m done, but something says I must go on
Conventional wisdom does implore you give it all and then give some more


Summer slowly turns to fall
It's so hard to walk away from it all
Long before my time

My agent says I need to move, what do I have left to prove?
I falter when I hold my ground, for a couple of bucks, you can keep me around
You′re only young just once, I know, but history will always show
You pad your best days with the chaff, a faded, tarnished photograph

Dandy Don and Warren Spahn tell me that I must go on
I must go on, I can't go on, I must go on, I can't go on
