I'll Close it Out

[Astro Annie]

I'll Close it Out

You know I had forty-six chances
Of those I saved forty-two
I know that I'm not automatic
But most of the time I came through

You may have your worries
You may have your doubts
But give me the ball
And I'll close it out

Two strikeouts and I was cruising
Then I gave up a walk
Then Pujols went yard on an 0-1
And some of you started to mock.

You may have your worries
You may have your doubts
But give me the ball
And I'll close it out

THen came a game in St. Louis
And Gar never did call my name
Since we were behind in Chicago
I never got into that game.

You may have your worries
You may have your doubts
But give me the ball
And I'll close it out

I'm in and I'm facing their 9-spot
He flies out to center, one down
Then the top of the order, Podsednik
My fourth pitch is driven downtown.

You may have your worries
You may have your doubts
But give me the ball
And I'll close it out

Don't let those incidents scare you
We all have both good days and bad
And next time I'm called in to close it
I'll make every one of you glad.

You may have your worries
You may have your doubts
But give me the ball
And I'll close it out
