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
HANGIN' 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 SHOULD'VE SEEN
MY DAD
AND THERE AIN'T NOBODY
GONNA TAKE THAT
FROM ME
AS LONG AS I'M
HOLDIN' ON
HEAVEN
WOULDN'T ASK IT OF ME
THE DEVIL ON A GOOD DAY
AIN'T THAT STRONG I'M
KEEPIN' IT HERE
INSIDE ME
AS LONG AS I LIVE
AND BREATHE
THE BALL WAS SOARIN'
AND THE CROWD WAS
ROARIN' AND THERE
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA
TAKE THAT FROM ME
I WAS NINETEEN
IT WAS A GOOD JOB
MOVIN' T.V.'S
ON A LOADING DOCK
'TIL 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
HOLDIN' ON
HEAVEN
WOULDN'T ASK IT OF ME
THE DEVIL ON A GOOD DAY
AIN'T THAT STRONG I'M
KEEPIN' 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
SOMETHIN' SNEAKS UP
TO REMIND ME
LIKE THIS MORNIN'
I WOKE UP
TO A LITTLE VOICE
THAT SPOKE UP
SAYIN' 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
HOLDIN' ON
HEAVEN
WOULDN'T ASK IT OF ME
THE DEVIL ON A GOOD DAY
AIN'T THAT STRONG I'M
KEEPIN' 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
NO
