Queen City Redline

Yeah

From the first pitch

To the last light

Cincy on my fitted, let’s ride

I was raised on the river by the steel and smoke

Red cap tilted when the lineup broke

Old heads talkin’ ’bout the Big Red dreams

New kids swingin’ tryna write more rings

Summer in the bleachers, sunscreen, peanuts

Scorecard scribbles, we don’t need clean-ups

Queen City heartbeat under my chest

Every cheer, every jeer, every last protest

Reds up, we don’t back down

Queen City blood runs red through the whole town

From the chalked-up lines to the outfield wall

We rise, we fall, still we stand tall

Reds up, turn that pain into pride

Every strike, every slide, we’re alive

On the river where the steel meets sky

We scream “Cincinnati” till the amps go dry (hey!)

Late night, lights bright on the downtown glass

We’ve seen cold Aprils and a hot pennant dash

Legends in the dust on a warning track

New kids hungry tryna bring it all back

Skipper with the signal, runner on go

Crowd holds breath when the bat explodes

If you from the Nati, you already know

Every summer’s like a war painted red on the row

Reds up, we don’t back down

Queen City blood runs red through the whole town

From the chalked-up lines to the outfield wall

We rise, we fall, still we stand tall

Reds up, turn that pain into pride

Every strike, every slide, we’re alive

On the river where the steel meets sky

We scream “Cincinnati” till the amps go dry

Red seat rattlin’, skyline scattered

Heartbreak hittin’, banners tattered

But we stay, but we chant, but we clap on two

’Cause the next home run might be made for you (woah)

Reds up, we don’t back down

Queen City blood runs red through the whole town

From the chalked-up lines to the outfield wall

We rise, we fall, still we stand tall

Reds up, turn that pain into pride

Every strike, every slide, we’re alive

On the river where the steel meets sky

We scream “Cincinnati” till the amps go dry
