Nice Guys Finish Last Lyrics - Singles - Steve Poltz

On a grassy knoll they laid him down 

And I bet he's still grumbling underground 

On a diamond, that's where I remember him best 

Sticking his nose in an umpire's chest 

'Cause they're paid too much today 

Man, I know that's what Leo would say 

And they need a kick in the ass 

'Cause nice guys finish last 

Nice guys finish last 

The say, hey kid's gonna miss you bad 

And I'm sure there were times when you made him mad 

He broke in the leagues back in '51 

And you treated him like he was your son 

'Cause they're paid too much today 

Man, I know that's what Leo would say 

And they need a kick in the ass 

'Cause nice guys finish last 

Nice guys finish last 

You'd throw your tantrums like a little girl 

Got to see the shot heard around the world 

The pictures show you hugging Bobby Thompson's neck 

Back when they played the game for more than just a check 

'Cause they're paid too much today 

Man, I know that's what Leo would say 

And they need a kick in the ass 

'Cause nice guys finish last 

Nice guys finish last 

So let the critics say just what they will 

You gave us a pain and you gave us thrills 

And most of these jokers never played the game 

You were much too good for their hall of fame 

'Cause they're paid too much today 

Man, I know that's what Leo would say 

And they need a kick in the ass 

'Cause nice guys finish last 

Nice guys finish last 

On a grassy knoll they laid him down 

And I bet he's still grumbling underground
