ANGELS IN JACKSON

I have heard it
Over a thousand times
Maybe more
In ballparks from Biloxi
To Bakersfield
You know the drill
Top step of dugout
Take off cap
Face Flag
Only cried once
Down in Jackson Mississippi
Little blind girl
In a bright red dress
Lead out by her mother
The girl grasped that microphone
And sang the National Anthem
And I believed in angels on earth
For that two minutes
In Jackson Mississippi
