Royce Clayton from Baseball by Paper Ceilings

when i was six years old, royce clayton you were my favorite
an everyday shortstop and then you got traded

when i was six years old, royce clayton you were my favorite
all the way down to texas, you got traded

i remember hearing the news
i couldn't believe it was true
i remember hearing the news
walt jocketty what did you do?

seventeen years later
it still stings a little bit
everything is sacred
when you're just a little kid

baseball's not a business, not a game
it's more than that
it's hot dogs and rookie cards and the bill of royce clayton's cap

seventeen years later
it still stings a little bit
everything is sacred
when you're just a little kid

baseball's not a business, not a game
it's more than that
it's extra innings in the upper deck and the crack of royce clayton's bat

i remember hearing the news
i couldn't believe it was true
i remember hearing the news
walt jocketty what did you do?
