I remember when baseball was everything |
|
It was Little |
|
League but what a big game |
|
There were two men on and one man out |
|
I got a fastball hanging outside |
|
I swung that bat with all my might and the ball was gone |
|
They say I knocked the cover off |
|
It was the only homer that |
|
I ever had |
|
You shoulda seen my dad |
|
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
|
As long as |
|
I'm holding on |
|
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me |
|
The devil on a good day ain't that strong |
|
I'm keeping it here inside me |
|
As long as |
|
I live and breathe |
|
The ball was soaring and the crowd was roaring |
|
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
|
I was nineteen, it was a good job |
|
Moving TVs on a loading dock |
|
Till the boss said: |
|
Son Try to lose every seventh one |
|
I got it worked out with a good friend |
|
Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in |
|
Now what do you say |
|
Don't you want to be rich one day |
|
I lost a real good job that night |
|
But I kept my pride |
|
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
|
As long as |
|
I'm holding on |
|
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me |
|
The devil on a good day ain't that strong |
|
I'm keeping it here inside me |
|
As long as |
|
I live and breathe |
|
I said goodbye with my head held high |
|
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
|
And sometimes it feels like |
|
My best years are behind me |
|
Then somehow, out of nowhere |
|
Something sneaks up to remind me |
|
Like this morning, |
|
I woke up |
|
To a little voice that spoke up |
|
Saying: Daddy, please |
|
Fix a bowl of |
|
Rice Krispies |
|
You're the bestest friend that |
|
I ever had |
|
You know I love you |
|
Dad And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
|
As long as |
|
I'm holding on |
|
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me |
|
The devil on a good day ain't that strong |
|
I'm keeping it here inside me |
|
As long as |
|
I live and breathe |
|
I got more than |
|
I ever asked for |
|
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me |
