“Seattle Took It Away”
(Verse 1)
I’m sittin’ here watchin’ the jukebox glow,
Nothin’ but heartache on the radio.
We had the lead, thought the crown was ours,
Now I’m drownin’ my sorrows in a smoky bar.
(Chorus)
Seattle took it away, on a cold, gray night,
Left Houston cryin’ ‘neath the Daikan lights.
One more round for the games we let slip,
As October dreams fade with each whiskey sip.
(Verse 2)
I still see Altuve swingin’ so proud,
Yordan's fly ball dyin’ out in the crowd.
The bullpen broke, and the bats went cold,
Now it’s Seattle’s story the papers will hold.
(Chorus)
Seattle took it away, on a cold, gray night,
Left Houston cryin’ ‘neath the Daikan lights.
One more round for the games we let slip,
As October dreams fade with each whiskey sip.
(Bridge)
I’ll raise my glass to the years gone by,
To the pennants won and the banners high.
But tonight it feels like the end of the line,
With a broken heart and a bottle of wine.
(Chorus – soft, final)
Seattle took it away, on a cold, gray night,
Left Houston cryin’ ‘neath the Daikan lights.
So pour me another, and let that band play…
‘Cause Seattle took it all away.
(Outro)
Yeah, they took it all away.
