The Baseball Song

The Baseball Song - Corey Smith

Written by：Corey Smith

The first thing I remember is the game that I love

A man on a diamond with a golden glove

Daddy with me in the cheap seats above

Sayin' boy keep your eye on the ball

The crack of the bat the stadium's roar

We were up on our feet for the tie breaking score

I said daddy I know what you brought me here for

He said good I hoped you'd hear the call

Life's a fastball

Belt high coming right down the middle

Don't stand there and let it go by

Swing hard and aim for the stands

My field of dreams was covered in stone

An old gravel parkin' lot next to our home

Dad on the mound until the daylight was gone

Sayin' boy keep your eye on the ball

'Cause it's hey batter hey batter swing batter swing

The world is an infield always chattering

If you don't concentrate they'll spoil your timing

And you'll walk away cussing them all

Life's a fastball

Belt high coming right down the middle

Don't stand there and let it go by

Swing hard and aim for the stands

Thank God for your fans

Thank God for your fans

Thank God for your fans

Thank God for your fans

Dad threw a party when I got the call

All the years on the farm team finally paid off

Now I'm in the big leagues

Aiming for the fall every summer's a long playoff run

As I walk to the plate

I look in the stands

I see myself and I see my old man

I hear my family and all of my friends

Cheering boy keep your eye on the ball

It's a fastball

Belt high coming right down the middle

I'm gonna nail one into the grandstands

Good glory this one's for the fans

For the fans

Thank God for the fans

Thank God for the fans

And my old man

My old man
