lyrics

Once in San Diego
Thought I had a whole day off.
When my lady showed in the paper
I was due on the mound.

I was medicating
With a dash of LSD.
Threw my first pitch in a haze
To a batter that I could not see.

And despite the junk I'd done,
I started to mow those batters down,
Started to mow those batters down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Zeroes on the scoreboard.
I hardly even know.
But the rookie second baseman
Says I'm throwing a no-no.

After all nine innings,
I'm in the midst of a mob scene.
Am I still in San Diego?
Or is this some drugged up dream?

And despite the junk I'd done,
I put up all goose eggs on the board,
Put up all goose eggs on the board.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now you find me on the sidewalk,
And you're coming up to me.
Say you want some memorabilia,
From the dude who pitched on LSD.

And despite all that I've done,
I can't get on the golf course with my dogs,
Can't get on the golf course with my dogs.
No, no, no.
