Sometimes you gotta just know when to quit .

Just like the old time slugger
who's bat is just a little slow
Or that aging quarterback
With less velocity on his throw

You just keep on hoping
For that one more moment In the sun
To re live some of that glory
When the game seemed much more fun

You've given it your all
Left it all out on the field
But no matter how hard you try
The truth has become revealed

Your true and loyal fans
Have turned to someone else
To give them that special magic
That with you they felt

It's then you come to realize
That maybe you should go
Leave with what little pride you have left
Its time to leave " the show "

It's really kind sad how
You've done so much for them
But they'd rather look to someone else
Instead of appreciate you again
