The Lyrics
Goodbye, Nomar G
though we never did win it all.
You had the guts to hide yourself
during that 13-inning ball.
Crawled into the dugout
and we whispered, "Isn't that a shame?"
The faithful finally saw through you
though they still can't say your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a shortstop in the wind
never knowing we could count on you
when the Yanks came in.
And I would've cheered you on like
I did when I was a kid.
Your chances burned out long before
your legend saw a skid.
Loneliness was tough
but that excuse was such a sham.
You became less of a superstar
when you married Mia Hamm.
Every year we cried
and the press, it hounded you.
The Herald calling for your head
and Globe said you were through.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a shortstop in the wind
never knowing we could count on you
when the Yanks came in.
And I would've cheered you on like
I did when I was a kid.
Your chances burned out long before
your legend saw a skid.
Goodbye, Nomar G
though we never did win it all.
You had the guts to hide yourself
during that 13-inning ball.
Goodbye, Nomar G
and I guess that is the way it goes.
We saw you as more than special
more than nervousness and nose.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a shortstop in the wind
never knowing we could count on you
when the Yanks came in.
And I would've cheered you on like
I did when I was a kid.
Your chances burned out long before
your legend saw a skid.
Your chances burned out long before
your legend saw a skid.
