You might not see me on an All-Star team
Or posing for the cover of a magazine
I might not win the Cy Young Award, yeah
You might not see me in the Hall of Fame
I might not have a cool nickname
I might not ever go four for four
But when the gams is on the line
Two outs two on in the ninth
You can count on a base hit from...
Guys like me who may not be
The brightest star shining on the team
But when you need that two run lead
Then I'm your man
'Cause it's guys like me that you will need
When our biggest star's gone 0 for three
And there I'll be with all my team doing the victory dance
I might not еver with the batting crown
Or evеn get recognized in town
There may not ever be a street named for me
I'm probably batting seventh, eighth or nineth
Batting average barely two fifty five
But with runners on base it's four-o-three. yeah
So when the game is on the line
That's when it's my time to shine
And you can count on a clutch hit from...
Guys like me who may not be
The brightest star shining on the team
But when you need that two run lead
Then I'm your man
'Cause it's guys like me that you will need
To hold 'em to a one run lead
To give our team a chance to beat them in the ninth
I know this means sometimes that I
Have to sacrifice some pride
'Cause when it's all said and done
Everybody just can't be number one
Guys like me who may not be
The brightest star shining on the team
But when you need that two run lead
Then I'm your man
'Cause it's guys like me that you will need
When our biggest star's gone 0 for three
And there I'll be with all my team doing the victory dance
