Tom Paxton - You Should Have Seen Me Throw That Ball lyrics

Bills come due Write a cheque and send it through Hope it clears Haven't cleared a cheque in years I'd better flash that grin It's bound to win Never misses when I turn it on Though the kid's getting old What can you do When it goes bad on you You'd better run Tell ‘em about the games you won You should have seen me throw that ball You should have seen me throw that ball First and ten Never run a play again How'd I know That was far as I would go They'd buy me all my beer They like to hear How I fooled them I when I pulled my fake They called me ‘Snake' What can you do When it goes bad on you You'd better run Tell ‘em about the games you won You should have seen me throw that ball You should have seen me throw that ball I had it all Why'd they have to drop the ball Right on the nose Bet I could have made the pros I didn't need my charm When I had my arm First and ten Never run a play again How'd I know That was far as I would go They'd buy me all my beer They like to hear How I fooled them I when I pulled my fake They called me ‘Snake' But what can you do When it goes bad on you You'd better run Tell ‘em about the games you won You should have seen me throw that ball You should have seen me throw that ball You should have seen me throw that ball You should have seen me throw that ball
