Baseball

There's a palm tree where the pine used to be
And there's an ocean right down the street
And you can play baseball twelve months a year
It only rains a couple of days and those days are here

Said she was leaving
Had her bag in hand
Said living my life
She could not stand
But I told her
That I'd make a change
Yeah she's heard it all before
And it still don't mean a thing

I had my dreams since I was a kid
Keeping my head down
Not caring where I fit
I know she loved me
A deep and true love
But riding down a one-way street
Just ain't big enough

There's a palm tree where the pine used to be
And there's an ocean right down the street
And you can play baseball twelve months a year
It only rains a couple of days and those days are here

She had her dreams since she was a girl
Said she felt like she couldn't say a word
So she suppressed them for a while
And you can keep it all locked up
'til the damn thing goes wild

And freedom comes at a cost
Yeah, that open road looks good now if you ain't lost
And when daytime turns to night
Well you're sitting there wondering
If the choices you made were right

There's a palm tree where the pine used to be
And there's an ocean right down the street
And you can play baseball twelve months a year
It only rains a couple of days and those days are here

Those clouds open up
And that clay turns to mud
Well I bring it all home
And I don't clean it up
I've got one pair of jeans
Ain't that enough
Oh, I know you hate to see me looking rough
Oh, I know you hate to see me looking rough

There's a palm tree where the pine used to be
And there's an ocean right down the street
And you can play baseball twelve months a year
It only rains a couple of days and those days are here
Those days are here
