Drinking With Mickey Mantle

Lyrics

When I was five I was king of the yard, and my grandfather said
 I had one hell of an arm. I remember learning his split-finger
 fastball, and all the tales he would stretch with that famous
 Turner charm. And by the fire pit in my old backyard, I used to
 sit transfixed by his stories. About the time him and Mickey
 Mantle drank all night long, spinning yarns of all their former glories.
 And I remember Christmas eve when I was ten and Ma told Grandpa
 he was wasting my time. She sent him packing in the pouring
 rain; things were never quite the same after that night. But in
 the package he left under the tree was a new silver wristwatch
 addressed to his favorite grandson, Henry.
