Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
Were born again, theres new grass on the field.
A-roundin third, and headed for home, its a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Chorus:
Oh, put me in, coach - Im ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - Im ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.
So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;
Dont say it aint so, you know the time is now.
Chorus
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think its time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) its gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
Chorus
Chorus
Yeah!

John Cameron Fogerty (Berkeley, 28 gennaio 1945) è un cantautore, chitarrista e produttore discografico statunitense, noto soprattutto per essere stato il leader e principale compositore del gruppo rock Creedence Clearwater Revival. Nato in California, Fogerty iniziò a suonare la chitarra all'età di dieci anni, influenzato dal rock and roll degli anni '50 e dalla musica folk americana. Nel 1967 formò i Creedence Clearwater Revival con suo fratello Tom (batteria), Stu Cook (basso) e Doug Clifford (percussioni). Il gruppo raggiunse il successo internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound caratterizzato da riff bluesy, testi evocativi di vita rurale americana e una forte componente folk-rock. Tra i loro successi più famosi figurano "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son" e "Green River", brani che hanno contribuito a definire l'estetica del rock americano degli anni '70. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Creedence Clearwater Revival nel 1972, Fogerty intraprese una carriera solista di successo, pubblicando album come "Centerfield" (1985) e "Blue Moon Swamp" (1997). Nel 2019 è stato inserito nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
