 Verse 1 (0:48):

 Spent the last year, Rocky Mountain Way [Fill 1]
 Couldn't get much higher                [Fill 1]
 Out to pasture, think it's safe to say  [Fill 1]
 Time to open fire                       [Fill 2]

 Well he's telling us this and telling us that, changes it everyday  [Fill 1]
 Says it doesn't matter                                              [Fill 1]
 Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat, playing it play by play        [Fill 1]
