Dugout Dust

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sun in the parking lot Dust on my cleats Dad in the first row Hot dogs and seeds I step in slow Grips on my hands White chalk line And a box of plans [Pre-Chorus] Scoreboard glowing Everybody leans One good pitch Can change the scene Heart tap-tap-tap On the count of three When that ball comes in It's just you and me [Chorus] Play ball, play ball Watch me swing now Play ball, play ball Feel that ring now One hard hit And the whole place rise Play ball, play ball Right between those eyes (Play ball) (play ball) We came to run tonight [Verse 2] Late game pressure Muddy jersey hem Coach says settle down Then I breathe again Ground ball skip low Throw stays true Slide through the dust Like I meant to do [Pre-Chorus] Fence line shaking Kids on the chain Every bad inning Gets burned away Last at-bat With the whole thing tied I dig in deeper And I clear my mind [Chorus] Play ball, play ball Watch me swing now Play ball, play ball Feel that ring now One hard hit And the whole place rise Play ball, play ball Right between those eyes (Play ball) (play ball) We came to run tonight [Bridge] Two outs, bottom of nine No room to hide I hear my name From the other side I take that breath Then I let it go One clean crack And away we roll [Chorus] Play ball, play ball Watch me swing now Play ball, play ball Feel that ring now One hard hit And the whole place rise Play ball, play ball Right between those eyes (Play ball) (play ball) We came to run tonight
