The Baseball Project - From Nails To Thumbtacks lyrics

Wrote my autobiography when I was 24 If I’d only known how much was still in store ’Cause I won it all with the Mets, age 23 And for the ’93 Phillies I could have been MVP I lived in a mansion, I lived in a car You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far I was the king of the car wash, the king of the quick lube Now I’m the king of family and substances abused From Nails to Thumbtacks that’s the way it goes In the Players Club or the Game of Life, who knows? I lived in a mansion, I lived in a car You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far ‘Little Lenny, Little Lenny’, yeah, they said I was a runt But I could change a game with a long ball or a bunt When my comeback failed I started hustling even more And I’ll be hustling still behind this prison door I lived in a mansion, I lived to steal a car You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far You gotta fly high to fall this far
