Only in Nashville
Can I take in a AAA baseball game with my son
At a park that sits under the shadows of a Civil War battlefield,
Where ushers hand us Richard Steban Oak Ridge Boy Bobblehead dolls,
As he waits beyond the gates, bearing soul patch and sharpie,
Signing autographs
Gray clouds float past a blue moon, and the Boys take the mound.
The mountain man with the long white hair and wispy beard
Gets the biggest hand of the night, as if the spirits of Whitman and Williams
Were guiding the first four pitches against a backdrop of American flag and
Guitar-shaped scoreboard
