Backyard Baseball

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dust on my cleats Chain-link sun Dad on the bleachers Saying "stay ready, son" Red clay on my knees Glove laced tight One more pitch Make it count tonight [Pre-Chorus] Step in slow Eyes on the seam Heart kicking hard Like a summer dream Crowd holds still I hear that call One clean swing Can change it all [Chorus] Hit it out Hit it out Send it over the fence Hit it out Hit it out Give me one chance White ball flying I can feel that spark Hit it out Hit it out Right through the dark [Verse 2] Hot dog smoke By the first-base line Mud on the pants But the grin is mine Coach waves me on I steal that bag Moon over the lot And the old flag flaps [Pre-Chorus] Step in slow Eyes on the seam Heart kicking hard Like a summer dream Crowd holds still I hear that call One clean swing Can change it all [Chorus] Hit it out Hit it out Send it over the fence Hit it out Hit it out Give me one chance White ball flying I can feel that spark Hit it out Hit it out Right through the dark [Bridge] Bottom of nine Two outs, all eyes I wipe my hands And I hold that line One breath in Then I let it go Bat meets fate And the whole field knows [Chorus] Hit it out Hit it out Send it over the fence Hit it out Hit it out Give me one chance White ball flying I can feel that spark Hit it out Hit it out Right through the dark
