Story Behind The Song
I had this dream where I stood at the plate, eyes locked with the pitcher. We just kept staring at each other, motionless, waiting for our drama to play out. It never did.

A little inspiration to take time to do some of those things now ? i.e. action. I?ve seen people sacrifice all their live only to end up dead before they got past go in their golden years.

Lyrics
It?s a thousand mile journey, and I just can?t wait
After mile nine ninety nine, to bust on through that gate
But without the first step, I won?t get very far
Just another dreamer, head up in the stars
CHORUS
So if I live for tomorrow, if I live for tomorrow
If I wait till tomorrow, I better not neglect today
The count stood 3 and 2, the game was on the line
My muscles were twitching, to make the pitch mine
But the pitcher wouldn?t pitch, kept staring at the plate
Game finally got postponed, umps couldn?t stand the wait
But I?m sure the sun will shine, when we resume play
I?ll get my final pitch, on my final day
repeat CHORUS
I knew I?d be happy, when I finally retired
Left it at 61, at 62 I expired
repeat CHORUS
