(I Used To Be A) Brooklyn Dodger şarkı sözleri

Yesterday somehow slipped by me It died like an old forgotten friend Didn't I just turn sixteen in May? Now thirty-five's just around the bend I threw the dice in all of the alleys Come on baby, let 'em roll And boys if you weren't from Flatbush Jack, you didn't have any soul I used to be a Brooklyn dodger But I ain't a hitter anymore You know I had a reputation I loved to hear the home crowd roar You know I never had a nickel Just my freedom, Girl, and the time And now all I have is a memory Of a street dodger in his prime Now Halley's Comets are remembered As a flash across the sky And if I had my leather jacket I swear I'd give it all another try I used to be a Brooklyn dodger But I ain't a hitter anymore You know I had a reputation I loved to hear the home crowd roar I used to be a Brooklyn dodger But I ain't a hitter anymore You know I had a reputation I loved to hear the home crowd roar I used to be a Brooklyn dodger But I don't play there anymore
