Curveball
He had the best arm in the county, steady 94
Other kids were always whisperin his name
His curveball sent you spinnin, sinker to the floor
Change-up made you hang your head in shame
He was destined for the majors, the bright lights and the crowds
All the scouts were placing bets and waging war
His friends all green with envy, his parents standing proud
As scholarships came flying through the door
Well the road ahead was open
And the sky above was blue
Oh, you'll never see it comin'
But life throws a mean curve too
Well he threw away his shoulder, spring of '89
Seventh inning of a damn near perfect game
Couple months of rest, doctor said he should be fine
But since that night it never was the same
'Cause that summer turned to winter, graduation came and went
He tried everything but never fully healed
See him sittin' in the dugout, spittin' in the wind
Wishin' it were him out on that field
Well the road ahead was open
And the sky above was blue
Oh, you'll never see it comin'
But life throws a mean curve too
Nowadays he sells insurance, grown up and settled down
The days are long but the pay's all right
He coaches in the evenings, his boy is on the mound
Lookin' just like his old man beneath those lights
Now the road ahead is open
And the sky above is blue
No, he never saw it comin'
