The Taxpayers - Atlanta's Own lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Rob Taxpayer with Danielle Taxpayer] "Turner on the mound, 120 pitches in Now it's 2 to 1 for Georgia Tech with runners in between 1,000 in the bleachers and 1,000 on the side Right from the stretch..." ("Here comes the pitch!") "Looks like a hit!" ("Go hit the lights!") "Go get the phone!" ("Go tell the press!") (Both together) "And baby, kiss that ball goodbye!" [Chorus: Rob Taxpayer] "Now, I've called Turner the left-handed NCAA Cy Young before Atlanta's own, but this is just absurd: A change-up on the 3 and 2, two-hitter on the line Deep in the 9th with a runner hugging 3rd" [Verse 2: Rob Taxpayer with Danielle Taxpayer] "Weltzer in left field quickly closing on the wall Somehow squinting through the blinding light, he snags it on the fall!" ("That's the game!") “But now all attention turns now to the pitcher's mound Turner's clutching his left shoulder and he's writhing on the mound Looks like he's hurt!" ("Alert the press!") "Go get the phone!" ("Go hit the lights!") "God, what a game!" ("But what a shame!") "What a way to end the night!" ("Georgia Tech must be upset They can't be happy with this win They've got a play-off spot secured But not a starter that can pitch!") [Extended Chorus: Rob Taxpayer] "Now, I've called Turner the left-handed NCAA Cy Young before Atlanta's own, but this is just absurd: A change-up on the 3 and 2, two-hitter on the line Deep in the 9th with a runner hugging 3rd No word yet from the trainer, I can't bear to see the savior Of the Yellow Jackets carried off the field That could have been enough to tear his left rotator cuff I can't imagine if or when that will heal A moment away From a perfect game But hey: Some records were never meant to be broken Right?" [Bridge: Danielle Taxpayer] "A shaky close to a shaky win Shackled by a crippled team Improvement? Retention? Left on the defensive When everybody leaves so completely resigned It's apparent that a dream that once was shared must have died." [Outro]
