When Derek hit 3000

When Derek hit 3000

In the Big Apple where I was born

I watched the game YES 

And worked the same time.

Life is good.

I used to live near 

Wrigley Field 

OnWest Wolfram 

Just off of Halsted Street 

Near to the ivy covered shrine 

I felt like Jean Shepherd walking through those leafy streets 

On sunny afternoons

To catch a game 

With a few thousand scattered fans 

Watch the Cubs go down 

And maybe Ernie get a hit or two
.

When Derek hit 3000 it was perfect

But no more perfect than those lazy afternoons
