Текст песни
[Куплет 1] We found the park by the old baseball diamond Same cracked path where we used to race Marty brought a map with the corners worn soft June still knows every trail by place I left the office badge in a drawer last friday Forty years of clocks, then out the door Now lou’s got the whistle from that river crossing And we’re laughing like we’ve been here before [Предприпев] The years took different roads with us But somehow brought us back [Припев] Here’s to the miles we made together The wrong turns that turned out right To the names we called across the water And the long way home at night We’ve got a little more gray in the picture A little less to prove or do But when the sun slips past the ballfield I’m still out there, side by side with you [Куплет 2] Rita tells the story of the bus to flagstaff How we fixed the tire with a belt Paul insists he cooked that fish on friday Though we all know how that lunchbox smelled We traded jobs, then traded numbers Raised our kids in towns apart Yet every time the old crew gathers We pick up right where we are [Предприпев] Some things don’t need a calendar They’re written in the track [Припев] Here’s to the miles we made together The wrong turns that turned out right To the names we called across the water And the long way home at night We’ve got a little more gray in the picture A little less to prove or do But when the sun slips past the ballfield I’m still out there, side by side with you [Бридж] Soon the folding tables will be loaded Someone’s got to catch the early train We’ll say, “next year, same place, same saturday” And mean it more than we can explain [Final chorus] Here’s to the miles we made together To the roads we still might choose To the stories gaining better endings Every time they’re told by you We’ve got a little more gray in the picture And a wider view to see it through As the last gold leaves the ballfield I’m still out there, side by side with you [Аутро] Same place, same saturday Side by side with you
