Ballgame

Step up to the plate, yeah, I'm locked in the zone

Crowd roaring loud, but I'm here on my own

Staring down the pitcher, he’s dialing up the heat

But I got the timing and the rhythm in my feet

He winds up, let it fly, ninety-five on the black

I shift my weight back, hear the crack of the bat

That ball is historic, it's soaring, it's gone

Flirting with the clouds as it lands on the lawn

Rounding first base with a smirk on my face

Yeah, we running this game, we setting the pace.

We talkin' diamond dreams, standard on the field

Got the leather on the glove and a heart made of steel

Base to base, race to race, watch the scoreboard climb

Yeah, we playing for the lights, it's baseball time

Slide into home, let the dust cloud rise

We chasing the ring, got our eyes on the prize.

Top of the ninth, bases loaded, two outs

This is the moment that deletes all the doubts

I’m out in shortstop, tracking the sky

Runner on third trying to tag on the fly

Ball's hit deep, gotta sprint to the right

Leaping in the air, man, I'm taking to flight

Snowcone catch, hit the dirt, make it stick

Umpire yells "OUT!" yeah, we ended it quick

Dust off the jersey, the team starts to run

That’s a wrap, that’s a dub, and the ballgame is done.

We talkin' diamond dreams, standard on the field

Got the leather on the glove and a heart made of steel

Base to base, race to race, watch the scoreboard climb

Yeah, we playing for the lights, it's baseball time

Slide into home, let the dust cloud rise

We chasing the ring, got our eyes on the prize.

Yeah... Just another day on the diamond.

Nine innings. One goal.

We out.
