Long Shot

I’m a long shot, baby
A long shot is what I am
Yeah, I’m a long shot, baby
A long shot is what I am
My mane’s goin’ gray
But my legs ain’t tired
I can run much faster than anybody say I can

I’m a long shot, baby
A long shot is what I been
Yeah, I’m a long shot, baby
Been shootin’ since I don’t know when
But don’t put your money on another horse, son
I ain’t gonna be one of those 27 also-ran

Seem to me [?] I don’t know where
You got it all wrong but on the other hand I don’t care
I wanna take my time before I get blue in the face
Cut the shit we both know that it’s a long race

I’m a short stop, baby
A short stop is what I’ll be
Yeah, I’m a short stop, baby
And a short stop is what I’ll be
I can shuffle step side to side
Glove down open wide
Side spittin’ knockin’ down every ground ball I see

Seem to me ya got a little trouble with the play by play
You got the wrong idea about every other word I say
I wanna call time out fiddle with my batting gloves
It ain’t just good defense that everyone loves

I’m a long shot, baby
A long shot is what I am
Yeah, I’m a long shot, baby
A long shot is what I am
Well, my mane’s goin’ gray
But my legs ain’t tired
I can run much faster than anybody say I can

I wanna take my time before I get blue in the face
Oh come on we both know that it’s a long race
