Dion - Brooklyn Dodger (I Used to Be a) lyrics
[Dion - Brooklyn Dodger I Used to Be a lyrics]
It died like an old forgotten friend
Didn't I just turn sixteen in May?
Now thirty-five's just around the bend
I threw the dice in all of the alleys
Come on baby, let 'em roll
And boys if you weren't from Flatbush
Jack, you didn't have any soul
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger
But, I ain't a hitter anymore
You know I had a reputation
I loved to hear the home crowd roar
You know I never had a nickel
Just my freedom, Girl, and the time
And now all I have is a memory
Of a street dodger in his prime
Now Halley's Comets are remembered
As a flash across the sky
And if I had my leather jacket
I swear id give it all another try
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger
But, I ain't a hitter anymore
You know I had a reputation
I loved to hear the home crowd roar
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger
But, I ain't a hitter anymore
You know I had a reputation
I loved to hear the home crowd roar
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger
But, I don't play there anymore
