I’ve seen the shadows of the ones that came before
Larger than life too big to be ignored
When they talk about the greats—Mickey and Joe
Come rolling off the tongue, so easily, you know
But my name just doesn’t linger
Though I’ve got all these rings on my fingers
Before I was sent out to pasture, I had some room to roam
Out in a field once patrolled by Earl Coombs
And Bobby in the booth, he would watch me play
With words of praise, I miss him to this day
In the center stage you got to be steady
So put me in coach ’cause I’m ready
As I glide between the statues, slide between the stones
Outstanding in my field but I’m standing here alone
Whistling past the graveyard long after dark
Singing la-la-la-la out in Monument Park
Did you know that in the old days they put those statues right on the field
So you’d stumble across the legends that couldn’t be concealed
By my time they moved them out beyond the center field wall
Like sirens outside I could still hear their call
Taunting me every time I’d play
But those voices never go away
As I glide between the statues, slide between the stones
Outstanding in my field but I’m standing here alone
Whistling past the graveyard long after dark
Singing la-la-la-la out in Monument Park
Mikey Mantle raised the bar that Joltin’ Joe set long ago
And though I’d like to take it even higher, history tells me “No!”
Then one day the Boss called me on the phone
They had no place for me so I knew it was time to go
It’s hard to say what you truly deserve
I wasn’t best or the second but I might have been the third
I think that I passed the test
So put my name out there with all of the rest
As I glide between the statues, slide between the stones
Outstanding in my field but I’m standing here alone
Whistling past the graveyard long after dark
Singing la-la-la-la out in Monument Park
Singing la-la-la-la out in Monument Park
Singing la-la-la-la out in Monument Park
