Mountain Goats, The - Doc Gooden Lyrics
Wheels down in Seattle
Three years ago in this town
They sent their best and brightest to me
I sent them all back down
There's champagne on the snack trays
Summon up the spirit of a brighter time
Looked bad last week against the Blue Jays
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
Potholes in the parking lot
You feel the jolts a little harder every year
It never stops raining out here
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
When the speedball would squeal
With the highlight reel
When the headline hype
Was on the front page in extra large type
It was me, for all the world to see
Don't call it a comeback
I've been here for years
Maximum respect to all the warriors
Who choose to fall down on their spears
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere

Mountain Goats, The Doc Gooden Comments
I first heard this on WTMD. There is something catchy about the instrumentation.
Great song, my favorite on this album.
The Mountain Goats are awesome.
The bass line is like a plaintiff and pleading counter to the lyrics...brilliant. Like a friend who is saying "Please...come on..." to each of your worst impulses.
The heartbreak that is this song.
Good song, but the singer is slightly precious.
Well, he IS a treasure
Is this a Sheryl Crow song?
Doc Gooden was a baseball player.
Well it's certainly a John Entwistle bassline
Wonderfull ❤️
I like this song heaps
Five people have ears that are painted on.
Aw, man. John, you have outdone yourself.
Make that ten... Too much shit rap music dulling their senses and they can't appreciate decent music.
@EnosEverything We don't need to cut down other genres to lift John up.
love the guitar in this song

Deluxe coach to the ballpark
There's champagne on the snack trays
Summon up the spirit of a brighter time
Looked bad last week against the Blue Jays
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
Potholes in the parking lot
You feel the jolts a little harder every year
The bat boy hands out yellow slickers
It never stops raining out here
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
When the speedball would squeal
With the highlight reel
When the headline hype
Was on the front page in extra large type
It was me, for all the world to see
Don’t call it a comeback
I've been here for years
Maximum respect to all the warriors
Who choose to fall down on their spears
When my name was everywhere
None of you were there
When my name was everywhere
