Drinking With Mickey Mantle Lyrics
[01:10.79]When I was five I was king of the yard
[01:13.42]And my grandfather said I had one hell of an arm
[01:19.44]I remember learning his split-finger fastball
[01:22.27]And all the tales he would Stretch with that famous Turner charm
[01:28.80]And by the fire pit in my old backyard
[01:31.23]I used to sit transfixed by his stories
[01:37.66]About the time him and Mickey Mantle drank all night long
[01:40.55]Spinning yarns of all their former glories
[01:46.93]And I remember Christmas eve when I was ten
[01:50.20]And Ma told Grandpa he was wasting my time
[01:54.69]She sent him packing in the pouring rain
[01:57.17]Things were never quite the same after that night
[02:01.66]But in the package he left under the tree
[02:05.45]Was a new silver wristwatch
[02:07.91]Addressed to his favorite grandson, Henry
[02:10.81]
[01:13.42]And my grandfather said I had one hell of an arm
[01:19.44]I remember learning his split-finger fastball
[01:22.27]And all the tales he would Stretch with that famous Turner charm
[01:28.80]And by the fire pit in my old backyard
[01:31.23]I used to sit transfixed by his stories
[01:37.66]About the time him and Mickey Mantle drank all night long
[01:40.55]Spinning yarns of all their former glories
[01:46.93]And I remember Christmas eve when I was ten
[01:50.20]And Ma told Grandpa he was wasting my time
[01:54.69]She sent him packing in the pouring rain
[01:57.17]Things were never quite the same after that night
[02:01.66]But in the package he left under the tree
[02:05.45]Was a new silver wristwatch
[02:07.91]Addressed to his favorite grandson, Henry
[02:10.81]
