I thought bullpens were only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
I could win every game
That's the way it seemed
Cy youngs dominated all my dreams.

Then I lost ten games, now I'm a reliever
Not a starter, or even a closer
I pitch slow
I'm a reliever!
I couldn't beat them if I tried

I thought relievers were more or less college level,
The better I pitched, the worse they seemed, oh yeah
What's the use in watchin?
All you get is pain
They lost my leads game after game

Then I lost ten games, now I'm a reliever
Not a starter, or even a closer
I pitch slow
I'm a reliever!
I couldn't beat them if I tried

Then I lost ten games, now I'm a reliever
Not a starter, or even a closer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a reliever
I'm a reliever
