Vida Rochelle Blue Jr was a pitcher who threw hard and threw a curveball. He was a left hander, and lefty pitchers have a nickname: Southpaw, so his pitch would be a ‘Southpaw Curve’.
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling cold today
Frozen to the core
I need some inspiration
To pull me from the floor
[Chorus]
Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth
Give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now, let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue
[Verse 2]
I've lived a lot of every place
Nowhere I'd call home
The look in every stranger's face
Tells me I'm alone
[Chorus]
Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth
Give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now, let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth
Give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now, let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue
