I sit on my ass and watch the game like everybody else And when its on the line, thats when they pull me down from the shelf You think this kind of pressure is easy, youre just kidding yourself All my heroes had colorful names and a bad attitude Shortlived fame and an even shorter fuse Everything to gain and plenty to lose If youre only in it for a little while, youd better make it count If you cant stand the heat, youre gonna have to get out Id pitched five days straight, they didnt want to bring me in My arm was hamburger meat, they didnt want to bring me in Bases loaded, nobody out, they had to bring me in Some hotshot rookie, they didnt want to bring me in Switchhitting batting champ, they didnt want to bring me in MVP, strike three, my work was done again If you want to hate my guts, thats all right by me If you think youve got my number, thats all right by me But youre gonna have to stand in against me, and then well see
