[Verse 1]
Wheels down in Seattle
Three years ago, in this town
They sent their best and brightest to me
I sent them all back down
[Verse 2]
Deluxe coach to the ballpark
There's champagne on the snack trays
Summon up the spirit of a brighter time
Looked bad last week against the Blue Jays
[Chorus]
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
[Verse 3]
Potholes in the parking lot
You feel the jolts a little harder every year
The batboy hands out yellow slickers
It never stops raining out here
[Chorus]
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
[Bridge]
When the speedball would squeal
With the highlight reel
When the headline hype
Was on the front page in extra-large type
It was me, for all the world to see
[Verse 4]
Don’t call it a comeback
I've been here for years
Maximum respect to all the warriors
Who choose to fall down on their spears
[Chorus]
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
