86 summers gone by, Bambino put a hex on the Bean
We were living on a tear and a sigh, in the shadow of the Bronx Machine
Man, you could feel it smolder, the whole town had an attitude
Then they get a little chip on the shoulder, say something that's downright rude
Oh, damn them Yankees, outspending everybody two to one
Picking up on the cream of the crop, stealing everyone's favorite son
Angels of Fenway hear our prayers, we have been patient, we have been jacent
Verse
Grandmama was a Fenway fan, even after Grandad died
I still remember her holding my hand, taking me along for the ride
She was born in 19 18, last year that the Red Sox won
Back the when they sold the Babe, something that they never shoulda ever have done
Bridge
Hey Nanna can I have another Coke?
Gee, that's got to kill his hand
Riding out on the Green Line, watching the town go by
Nanna made another Red Sox fan, till the day I die
Verse
That was back in sixty-five, doesn't seem like a long time ago
Grandmama keeping hope alive, watch them win in double-o-four
Oh my God, it was beyond belief, down 3 needing 4 in a row
Holding on by the skin of our teeth, like a hungry dog on a bone
Angels of Fenway give them peace, they have been patient, Red Sox nation
Verse
The whole world held it's breath, people got down on their knees
Waiting for the sudden death, praying to heaven for hell to freeze
Nanna watched from her hospital bed, she was there till the end of the race
I couldn't hear the last word she said but she was lying there with a smile on her face
Just a little smile on her face
Doesn't seem like long time ago
