1976 Lyrics by The Baseball Project

Volume 2: High and Inside

0

Saw your picture in the paper today and I couldn't believe my eyes
Dead before your time, but so long beyond your prime
Looking nothing like the memory from when I was a kid
Golden hair flowing down, on your knees grooming the pitcher's mound

And it's always 1976
The camera lies and the mirror plays tricks
So many things that the years won't fix
Always 1976
Always 1976

Set against a fading Motor City and Richard Nixon's shame
A rock star had arrived, Fidrych comes alive!
And I know that it's hardly fair to say you won't grow old
But forgive me if I try to keep that faded image in my eyes

And it's always 1976
The camera lies and the mirror plays tricks
So many things that the years won't fix
Always 1976
Always 1976

What does it say for the rest of us
When our heroes die and leave us alone?
What does it say for the rest of us
When we wake up and find this bird has flown?

And it's always 1976
The camera lies and the mirror plays tricks
So many things that the years won't fix
It's always 1976
Always 1976

Always 1976
Always 1976
Always 1976
Always 1976
