Huddy

HUDDY

See Timmy how big he’s grown

But friend it hasn’t been too long

He wasn’t big

…was considered undersized by scouts at 6′0 tall and 160 pounds...

They laughed at him and he got mad

The first day that he painted it was just a twig

twig

When the Big Show came

And he ran out to blow those teams away

It wouldn’t die

Came running off all excited

Slipped and almost hurt himself

And I laughed till I cried

buds

He was always young at heart

Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved him so

And he surprised me with a puppy

pup

Kept me up all Christmas Eve ten years ago

And it would sure embarrass him

When I came out from working late

‘Cause I would know

That he’d been sitting there and frying

Over some sad and silly pitch I’d thrown

And Huddy I miss you

And I’m being good

And I’d love to play with you

If only I could

He wrecked the bar ’cause he was mad

…the young man…proceeded to spray Hudson with beer. It was then that punches flew.

And so afraid that I’d be sad

But what the heck

Though I pretended hard not to be

Guess you could say he saw through me

And hugged my neck

I came home unexpectedly

And caught him crying needlessly

ouch

In the middle of the day

And it was in the early Spring

When Braves fans chop and Braves fans sing

He went away

And Huddy I miss you

And I’m being good

And I’d love to play with you

If only I could

One day while I was not at home

While he was there and all alone

Atlanta came

Now all I have are memories of Huddy

And I wake up nights and call his name

Now my life’s an empty stage

empty stage

Where Huddy pitched and Huddy played

And love grew up

And a small cloud circles ’round and ’round

And cries down on the pitching mound

That Huddy loved

And see Timmy how big he’s grown

reunited

But friend it hasn’t been too long

He wasn’t big

They laughed at him and he got mad

The first day that he painted it was just a twig...
