Let’s take a look at the situation
Size it up right from the start
The team’s been together just a little too long
They’re a little bit loose and they’ll tear them apart
They were beat then they scored
When the state hit the ball
And you might think there’s nothing to gain
For an instant in you if nobody cares if you are losing again

Yeah the ball went up and it didn’t come down
They were sitting by the side of the track
Somebody said did you see that
As he pulled a Lucy from a Lucky Strike pack

But you don’t snatch the catch
When the glove don’t fit ya
