When the seats are all empty
And the grounds crew takes the field
Pack it up and pull the tarp out
He’s the first to come and the last to leave
Working for six million bucks
Maybe playin for another team
Last year the people were so fine
They waited there in line.
And when they got up on their feet
and made the game,  that was so sweet.
and I can hear the sound of slamming bats and pounding gloves
that’s a sound he’ll never know again

Load those bats and pack up those mitts
pack it up after three more hits
And when it comes to super subs,
you know Brandon is the champ
but when that last glove has been packed away
you know that he still just wants to play.
before you send him to Miami

But the team is on the bus,
and they're ready to go.
We got to fly all night
And play a game in Minnesota...
or Detroit,  I don't know, we play so many games in a row.
And these towns all look the same.
Players pass the time in their hotel rooms
and wander around the field.
Till those lights come up, and they hear that crowd,
and remember why they came.

Now we’ve got Miggy and Magglio on the bus,
Jhonny too, we got Motown on Ipods and chewin tobacco
We've got Verlander and Ricky too
And we've got Betemit playin third
We got Dickerson on the radio
You've got time to think of the ones you loved
While the season rolls away
but the only time that seems too short is the time that you get to play
DD, you've got the power over what he’ll do
You can trade away our hero
or you can keep Inge too.
Don’t be a dong, bring Inge along
You know that you can't go wrong
'Cause when that  injury bug hits our nine
you're gonna wish you had Inge on the pine
But he'll be scheduled to appear
a thousand miles away from here

Brandon stay- just a little bit longer
We’ll let you play - just a little bit more
Now Cabrera don't mind
And Leyland don't mind
You can play a little time
You can spend time on the pine and play
One more game
Oh won’t you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please say you will
Say you will

Oh won’t you stay just a little bit longer
Oh please, please stay just a little bit more

Now if Leyland don’t mind
And Raburn don’t mind
If we take a little time
And we leave this all behind and play
One more game
