00:00I was raised in this mill hill town that's where my family settled down. Daddy worked the mill like the folks we knew. And when I grew up I worked there too. But in high school on the baseball team, threw an old hit against the Rebels. One spring, scouts came and ran.
00:30And I was packing up to leave this town. I spent two years in Florida in a one hour small town. I'd been the very best but it turned out my best wasn't good enough. After spring training I got cut so I took my tape and came back home.
00:56Just to find out the mill was gone. Tallest building in our town is empty as a ship. Houses all around it are empty and as wet. I'm just gathering stones down by the pike.
01:23Tonight I'll be out there throwing strikes. Crack open a beer in an overgrown field and stare up at that forgotten mill. 48 windows, 836 panes, no fancy stuff. Just a strong arm day might fly across that fatal opening night.
01:49As the sound of breaking glass cuts the quiet. Tallest building in our town is empty as a ship. Houses all around it are empty and as wet. I'm just gathering stones down by the pike.
02:16Tonight I'll be out there throwing strikes. Cops roll by me but they don't even care. It's almost like this place ain't even our home.
02:38Whoa, whoa. Tallest building in our town is empty as a ship. Houses all around it are empty.
