Had them in hand, my glasses, and I put them down
Did not know where
I checked the car, the bathroom sink, and pantry shelf
They were not there
I'm stinkin' blind, stinkin' blind
Can't see much without them

Had a plan to see the game in boston, but i
Could not drive
I called a friend and gave him both my seats
And tried not to cry
He thanked me much, thanked me much; he turned
Tipped his hat and left

Went to find my radio just to hear the game
Real loud and clear
Oh, how unfair, it wasn't there
So I kicked my couch, and then I kicked the wall
I let go a scream, let go a scream
And then I dialed 9-1-1

Missed the whole ballgame,
Missed the whole ballgame,
Missed the whole ballgame- damn!

The cops then came, asked me my name; I couldn't speak
-was in such pain-
They spoke baseball and knew it all,
Said that the game was
Delayed by rain
The game wouldn't start, it wouldn't start
For at least a few hours from right then.

If I moved fast could get my foot in cast in record time
And catch the game
Though I was blind I got behind the wheel to drive
And felt no shame
I hit a tree and as I hit the tree
I heard myself cry out, "no!'..."no!!"

Missed the whole ballgame,
Missed the whole ballgame,
Missed the whole ballgame- damn
