The Felice Brothers - Cooperstown lyrics

The water's wide It's deep and wide It's down a long and windy road And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it In Narrow's Church The white walled church They're singing that gospel song "Bye and Bye, I will see my King" The clouds will break And the pews shake And the choir softly cries And it's Georgia in the spring of 1905 Ty Cobb You're dead and gone You had a game like a war machine And through the great Hall of Fame you wander In Tigers Field A girl in heels She had a face like a magazine And through the long metal stands she wandered The ball soared The crowd roared The scoreboard sweetly hummed And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won I'm on First And you're on Third And all the wolves are all between And everyone's sure that the game is over The catcher's hard He's mean mean and hard And he nips at the batter's heels And everyone's sure that the game is over The ball soars And the crowd roars And the scoreboard sweetly hums And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won The water's wide It's deep and wide It's a down a long and windy road And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it The clouds break And the pews shake And the preacher's feet do pound As the rain beats the streets of Cooperstown
