Angels Of Fenway
James Taylor
Intro: Verse 86 summers gone by Bambino put a hex on the Bean We were living on a tear and a sigh in the shadow of the Bronx Machine Man you could feel it smolder the whole town had an attitude Then they get a little chip on the shoulder say something that’s downright rude Oh damn them Yankees outspending everybody two to one Picking up on the cream of the crop stealing everyone’s favorite son Angels of Fenway hear our prayers we have been patient we have been jacent Verse Grandmama was a Fenway fan even after Grandad died I still remember her holding my hand taking me along for the ride She was born in 19 18 last year that the Red Sox won Back the when they sold the Babe something that they never shoulda ever have done Bridge One more! Hey Nanna can I have another Coke? Here come the hot dog ma-----n look at that his bat just broke Gee that’s got to kill his hand Riding out on the Green Line watching the town go by Nanna made another Red Sox fan till the day I die Verse That was back in sixty-five doesn’t seem like a long time ago Grandmama keeping hope alive watch them win in double-o-four Oh my God it was beyond belief down 3 needing 4 in a row Holding on by the skin of our teeth like a hungry dog on a bone Chorus: Angels of Fenway give them peace they have been patient Red Sox nation Verse The whole world held it’s breath people got down on their knees Waiting for the sudden death praying to heaven for hell to freeze Nanna watched from her hospital bed she was there till the end of the race I couldn’t hear the last word she said but she was lying there with a smile on her face Just a little smile on her face Doesn’t seem like long time ago
