lyrics

Just a crusty old dog with a worn out guitar
by now he thought he'd be dead
If a fastball didn't kill him then surely his heart
would have failed from disinterest or dread

Some try to hold on to what's left of July
With a misguided trust in fate
Some they are willing to fall or to fly
Some never step to the plate

He came to this city from a dusty home town
Believing it wouldn't take long
From the minors to the majors he followed the sound
chasin' the words of a song

Some try to hold on to what's left of July
With a misguided trust in fate
Some they are willing to fall or to fly
Some never step to the plate

No time to feel sorry for the things that he missed
Or the chances that he threw away
So he'll go out swinging on the payoff pitch
Just hoping to put it in play

Some try to hold on to what's left of July
With a misguided trust in fate
Some they are willing to fall or to fly
Some never step to the plate

Some may be willing to fall or to fly
some never step to the plate
