The Taxpayers - Drinking With Mickey Mantle Lyrics
When I was five I was king of the yard, and my grandfather saidI had one hell of an arm. I remember learning his split-fingerfastball, and all the tales he would stretch with that famousTurner charm. And by the fire pit in my old backyard, I used tosit transfixed by his stories. About the time him and MickeyMantle drank all night long, spinning yarns of all their former glories.And I remember Christmas eve when I was ten and Ma told Grandpahe was wasting my time. She sent him packing in the pouringrain; things were never quite the same after that night. But inthe package he left under the tree was a new silver wristwatchaddressed to his favorite grandson, Henry.
