SOMETHING HAPPENED
ANTONIO ANDRADE, 17927 MUSIC

BACK IN THE DAY I WAS A FOURTH GRADE BOY
A BASEBALL GLOVE WAS MY FAVORITE TOY
MY BROTHER PLAYED BALL LIKE MY DADDY DID TOO
I KEPT A CARD IN MY CAP … HARMON KILLEBREW

BASEBALL FILLED MY YOUNGEST DAYS
TAKING THROWS AT SECOND, TURNING DOUBLE PLAYS
I SANG THAT LIKE MY GRAND POP DID TOO
ABOUT WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON AND KALAMAZOO

KIDS HAVE DREAMS, WHAT THEY WANT TO BE
PLAYING BASEBALL WAS THE LIFE FOR ME
SOMETHING HAPPENED, I’M GUESSING YOU KNOW
BIGGER THAN HENRY DAVID THOREAU

WAVING OUR CAPS IN THAT RATTLE TRAP
CENTRALIA RIVALS, LOCUST DALE AND LOCUST GAP
THE CHIEF OF POLICE WAVED AND WISHED US GOOD LUCK
FIFTEEN KIDS IN A PICKUP TRUCK

KIDS HAVE DREAMS, WHAT THEY WANT TO BE
PLAYING BASEBALL WAS THE LIFE FOR ME
SOMETHING HAPPENED, I’M GUESSING YOU KNOW
BIGGER THAN THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW

MCGRAW PITCHED FOR MY TEAM, THE NEW YORK METS
THE ’69 SERIES WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS
STILL TOO YOUNG FOR THE VIETNAM WAR
LIFE BEGAN TO CHANGE IN ’64

KIDS HAVE DREAMS, WHAT THEY WANT TO BE
PLAYING BASEBALL WAS THE LIFE FOR ME
SOMETHING HAPPENED, I’M GUESSING WE KNOW
BIGGER THAN CURLY AND LARRY AND MOE
BIGGER THAN THE IMAGE OF MARILYN MONROE
BIGGER THAN JOE DIMAGGIO
THE BEATLES ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW
