Over the Mountains to Santa Domingo (Demo) Lyrics by Jam Mechanics
Jam Mechanics Season 1

[Verse 1] I am seven years old playing catch with my father In a baseball field in central Havana The crowds have all left, the stadium lights are still on Someone approaches, asks for his signature He smiles and he beckons me over Says "you can have mine, but his will be worth more one day" [Chorus] This is the story he's writing I am the hero and he's watching me go Over the sea to Haiti Over the mountains to Santa Domingo Dreams around here are disloyal Thеy'll run off and come true for somebody еlse Well, I don't know, dad, that's a strange way to tell me to leave And never come back [Verse 2] I'm 15 years old, just hit the home run That pushed my team over the line to the finals And everyone's cheering, but he is the loudest of all I want us to go for a meal with my brothers But he knows a guy he wants me talk to Drags me away to talk money and mansions and fame [Chorus] 'Cause this is the story he's writing A call to adventure that's more like a bellow Over the sea to Haiti Over the mountains to Santa Domingo I've got a ticket balled up in my pocket It's one way to the second act Well, I don't know, dad, that's a strange way to tell me to leave And never come back [Bridge] Do you think I don't wanna be all I can be with my whole heart? You think I don't wanna see every square inch of this world? (Ah) (This world) [Verse 3] I'm forty years old playing catch with my girl In a diamond we set up right in our back garden Four out of five times our dog gets the ball before us My neighbors are trying to figure out where They recognize me from, "Hey, weren't you once someone," and I just say, "No, you must be thinking of my dad" [Chorus] This is the story we're writing Me and my daughter can be who we wanna be You still come over on Sundays She runs for a hug when you park in the driveway And sometimes when she's fallen asleep We go out and play catch in the yard And I know that that is a strange way to say I forgive you Maybe one day I'll say it out loud
