I'm at the bottom of a fifth
Feeling like I'm down and it's the bottom of the ninth
Girl, I let you tell me who I am
Now, I'm just a man that I don't even recognize
I've been on a losing streak
And loving you and losing me
Now that I know who you are
I remember who I used to be
(Used to be)
I was Dale Murphy
3 on my jersey
Dirt on my cleats
Girl, you can't hurt me
I was rounding dirt round 3AM
Sliding into home like I did back when
I was swinging for the fences
Playing in the backyard
Since I was a youngster
Always been an All-Star
Before you came along, I was winning
Now that you're gone, I'm going back to the beginning
When I was Dale Murphy
Ain't no crying in baseball, I'm going downtown
Playing for the play offs, onto the next round
I know when you left you think you broke me
But tonight I'm getting back to the old me
I was Dale Murphy
3 on my jersey
Dirt on my cleats
Girl, you can't hurt me
I was rounding dirt round 3AM
Sliding into home like I did back when
I was swinging for the fences
Playing in the backyard
Since I was a youngster
Always been an All-Star
Before you came along, I was winning
Now that you're gone, I'm going back to the beginning
When I was Dale Murphy
I'll buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks
Ooo, I don't care if you ever come back
I was Dale Murphy
3 on my jersey
Dirt on my cleats
Girl, you can't hurt me
I was rounding dirt round 3AM
Sliding into home like I did back when
I was swinging for the fences
(I'll buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks)
Playing in the backyard
Since I was a youngster
Always been an All-Star
(Ooo, I don't care if you ever come back)
Before you came along, I was winning
Now that you're gone, I'm going back to the beginning
When I was Dale Murphy
