Steve Poltz - Nice Guys Finish Last lyrics

rate me

On a grassy knoll they laid him down

And I bet he's still grumbling underground

On a diamond, that's where I remember him best

Sticking his nose in an umpire's chest

'Cause they're paid too much today

Man, I know that's what Leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

'Cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last

The "Say Hey" Kid's gonna miss you bad

And I'm sure there were times when you made him mad

He broke in the leagues back in '51

And you treated him like he was your son

'Cause they're paid too much today

Man, I know that's what Leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

'Cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last

You'd throw your tantrums like a little girl

Got to see the shot heard around the world

The pictures show you hugging Bobby Thompson's neck

Back when they played the game for more than just a check

'Cause they're paid too much today

Man, I know that's what Leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

'Cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last

So let the critics say just what they will

You gave us a pain and you gave us thrills

And most of these jokers never played the game

You were much too good for their Hall Of Fame

'Cause they're paid too much today

Man, I know that's what Leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

'Cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last

On a grassy knoll they laid him down

And I bet he's still grumbling underground
