Transcription below is a rough draft, with unclear portions italicized.
Let’s take a look at the situation
Size it up right from the start
The team’s been together just a little too long
They’re a little bit loose and they’ll tear them apart
They were beat then they scored
When the state hit the ball
And you might think there’s nothing to gain
For an instant in you if nobody cares if you are losing again
Who wants to be a Baseball Hero
Out in the centre field sun
Sitting on the edge of a home town ledge
I was waiting for that final run
Yeah the ball went up and it didn’t come down
They were sitting by the side of the track
Somebody said did you see that
As he pulled a Lucy from a Lucky Strike pack
All of the pitchers and all of the hitters
From listening to the AFN radio
But you don’t snatch the catch
When the glove don’t fit ya
If you don’t know Uncle Sam from Uncle Joe
Who wants to be a Baseball Hero
Out in the centre field sun
Sitting on the edge of a home town ledge
I was waiting for that final run
Well, I had a dream, it was just the other night
That they're in the clear and stateside bound
There wasn’t another team who could stay in sight
Or stand a chance of holding them down
Well their all back home and they drifted away
And these days they got too much to lose
But maybe they remembered when they said I’d liked to play
That I can’t afford no red & white shoes
Who wants to be a Baseball Hero
Out in the centre field sun
Sitting on the edge of a home town ledge
I was waiting for that final run
For that final run
Who wants to be a Baseball Hero
Out in the centre field sun
Sitting on the edge of a home town ledge
I was waiting for that final run
For that final run
