The Real Game Lyrics

There�s a millionaire at shortstop, another in left field
The designated hitter has five commercial deals
The pitcher charges twenty bucks to autograph a ball
A big guy in the skybox claims to own �em all

But there�s a real game, down on the corner
In a vacant lot that the kids cleaned up
With a ball and a bat and a hand-me-down glove
There�s a real game, and that�s the game I love

That stadium they�re building, the crowd�s already seen
The distances are perfect, the grass is painted green
The television cameras standing sleek and tall
Capture every replay, each million dollar fall

But there�s a real game, down on the corner
In a vacant lot that the kids cleaned up
With a ball and a bat and a hand-me-down glove
There�s a real game, and that�s the game I love

Look at that kid�. he swings like Hank did
Look at that kid�. he slides like Pete
Look at that kid�. he throws like Nolan
Look at that kid�. he looks like me

But there�s a real game, down on the corner
In a vacant lot that the kids cleaned up
With a ball and a bat and a hand-me-down glove
There�s a real game, and that�s the game I love
