S aturday summers when I was a kid
We'd ru n to the school yard and h ere's what we did
We'd p ick out the c aptains and we'd c hoose up the t eams
It was a lways a measure of m y self esteem.
Cause the f astest the strongest played s hortstop and first
The l ast ones they picked were the w orst.
I never needed to ask it was sealed
I just t ook up my place in right f ield.
Playing r ight field its e asy you know
Y ou can be a wkward y ou can be s low
That's why I 'm here in r ight field
Just w atching the d andelions g row.
Playing r ight field can be l onely and dull
L ittle leagues never have l efties that pull
I d ream of the d ay when they h it one my w ay
T hey never did but still I wou ld pray
That I'd m ake a fanta stic c atch on the r un
And n ot lose the b all in the s un.
And t hen I'd awa ke from this l ong reveri e
And p ray that the b all never c ame out to m e.
Here in r ight field its e asy you know
Y ou can be a wkward y ou can be s low
That's why I 'm here in r ight field
Just w atching the d andelions g row.

O ff in the distance the g ame's dragging on
There's s trikes on the batter some r unners are on
I d on't know the i nning I've forg otten the s core.
The w hole team is yelling and I d on't know what for.
S uddenly e veryone's l ooking at m e
My m ind has been w andering w hat could it b e?
They p oint to the s ky and I l ook up ab ove
And the b aseball falls i nto my g love!
Here in r ight field Its i mportant you k now
You gotta k now how to c atch you gotta k now how to t hrow
That's why I 'm here in right field
Just w atching the d andelions g row.
