You Waivered Me Bye-Bye (and Sent Me On My Way)
(for Brian Hunter)

You know I wasn't hittin' well, at just .234
I would be hittin' better, if I'd been playin' more
I'd be suited up and waitin', ready every game
But you'd see me sittin' on the bench and never call my name

     And now you waivered me bye-bye
     And sent me on my way
     You're bringin' up some guy
     Who's hittin' well in triple-A
     You know I always try
     To look at things your way
     But now you waivered me bye-bye
     And sent me on my way

I really tried to help the team, I tried to do my best
In fact, if there's a problem, it's maybe that I pressed
And you say that I don't hustle, or give it all I got
When you're forced to cool your heels so much, you can't always be hot.

     And now you waivered me bye-bye
     And sent me on my way
     You're bringin' up some guy
     Who's hittin' well in triple-A
     You know I always try
     To look at things your way
     But now you waivered me bye-bye
     And sent me on my way
