about

This song resulted from a dream I had where I was a shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs. The dream, as near as I can tell, sprouted from a late-night/early, early-morning hotel room conversation along the hem of Barton Springs with Shane Sweeney and Todd May. #crossoverwhataburger

lyrics

Satchel Paige was 47
The 8th and the crowd
It can take a little time to appear
Just a few months from 60
Yaz, with 2 outs
The pace and the temper of the ride

Hope, it collides
With the weight of impatient
compromise
There's gotta be something different
in the light

The heavy, realize
trades and tricks of the measuring device
The rules we create and collapse, out of time

Hope, it collides
With the weight of impatient
compromise
The rules we create and collapse, out of time

Someday, I promise, i can be like that
Someday, I promise, I'll arrive
