I left my home for to see the world
And I waved goodbye to the factory floor
I broke the news to a northern girl
And I signed my name
And I joined this game
I sold myself
To the flying life
Into the blue with no way back down
And they send me here
To defend their faith
And I go walking out like I own this town
Playing games in Germany
Baseball diamond for the Europeans
Across the boards with this pointless dream
I'm scoring points in Germany
You charmed my life with a restless soul
You told me tales all those years ago
Of a world outside that was new and wild
I feared for you
And you proved me right
Playing games in Germany
Across the Rhine in your army greens
Making noise in the name of peace
With all the boys in Germany
You signed your name to the sport of kings
When you waived goodbye with a laughing glance
And now you're gone where the heroes go
And the game goes on but I still don't know
Playing games in Germany
I see your face on every street
Games will never make us free
Games won't bring you back to me
And I waved goodbye to the factory floor
I broke the news to a northern girl
And I signed my name
And I joined this game
I sold myself
To the flying life
Into the blue with no way back down
And they send me here
To defend their faith
And I go walking out like I own this town
Playing games in Germany
Baseball diamond for the Europeans
Across the boards with this pointless dream
I'm scoring points in Germany
You charmed my life with a restless soul
You told me tales all those years ago
Of a world outside that was new and wild
I feared for you
And you proved me right
Playing games in Germany
Across the Rhine in your army greens
Making noise in the name of peace
With all the boys in Germany
You signed your name to the sport of kings
When you waived goodbye with a laughing glance
And now you're gone where the heroes go
And the game goes on but I still don't know
Playing games in Germany
I see your face on every street
Games will never make us free
Games won't bring you back to me
