Play Ball
Pete chalks the ball fields down at Dennis Linde park
Turns the sprinklers on at sun-up and the lights on after dark
If you got time to talk, he'll give you his two cents
The grass is always greener on his side of the fence, yeah
He lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam
Jokes he used to be a hitchhiker, but not for very long
He runs off the gophers in a golf cart full of dents
And the grass is always greener 'cause he makes sure it is, yeah
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day that you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Go to church, love your mama, and play ball, yeah
I broke into concessions once, but he didn't call the cops
He just made me clean the grease traps and replace the bubble pops
That's the spring that daddy left, he knew I was actin' out
And when I hit my first home run, he took me to Golden Corral, yeah
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Go to church, love your mama, and play ball
Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat
The world would be a better place if we all had a Pete, yeah
Turns the sprinklers on at sun-up and the lights on after dark
If you got time to talk, he'll give you his two cents
The grass is always greener on his side of the fence, yeah
He lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam
Jokes he used to be a hitchhiker, but not for very long
He runs off the gophers in a golf cart full of dents
And the grass is always greener 'cause he makes sure it is, yeah
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day that you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Go to church, love your mama, and play ball, yeah
I broke into concessions once, but he didn't call the cops
He just made me clean the grease traps and replace the bubble pops
That's the spring that daddy left, he knew I was actin' out
And when I hit my first home run, he took me to Golden Corral, yeah
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Go to church, love your mama, and play ball
Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat
The world would be a better place if we all had a Pete, yeah
