I LOVE BASEBALL

I was just a little kid

Another dreamer on the grid

Aiming for that lucky star...

Playing in the major leagues

Striking out opposing teams

Wrigley Field and Fenway park

While my friends were chasing dates

I was locking up my fate

Ready for an agent's call...

They were after second base

My whole world was the game

They'll never know a love like

Baseball

~~~*Chorus*~~~

There is no one else around

Through my fingers sacred ground

Fades the hammer of the crowd

Just me on the pitcher's mound

Dig my cleats into the dirt

Throw for all that I am worth

Slams into the catcher's mitt

The dust clears without a hit

I love it all...

I love baseball

~~*~~

Flowing through my blood from birth

Diamonds carved into the earth

Reverence some don't understand...

Yeah, the stadium of fans

The sound cracking of the bat

This ball I'm holding in my hand

I love it all...

I love baseball

~~~*Chorus*~~~

There is no one else around

Through my fingers sacred ground

Fades the hammer of the crowd

Just me on the pitcher's mound

Dig my cleats into the dirt

Throw for all that I am worth

Slams into the catcher's mitt

The dust clears without a hit

I love it all...

I love baseball
