Ball Player

Well, bein' my son's probably pretty hard Been tough on you, no doubt I go crazy when you go yard Start cussin' when you strike out We missed all them summer vacations Chasin' all-star two dollar rings Probably should've told you this more times Than I told you how to fix your swing You ain't just a ball player You ain't just a home run ball on a shelf You ain't just a jersey with my last name on it Just a way to relive it myself Hope you make it to the bigs someday (someday) 'Cause son, I know that's your prayer But trust me, and the man upstairs Nah, you ain't just a ball player Love you now and I'ma love you later Son, I'm sorry for them long rides home When you couldn't buy a hit Probably should've took my coach hat off Just let you be a kid Hell, I could care less if you catch 'em Just love watchin' you chase your dreams Yeah, maybe one day you'll have a little boy out there And you'll see what I mean You ain't just a ball player You ain't just a home run ball on a shelf You ain't just a jersey with my last name on it Just a way to relive it myself Hope you make it to the bigs someday (someday) 'Cause son, I know that's your prayer But trust me, and the man upstairs Nah, you ain't just a ball player Love you now and I'ma love you later Said yeah, we had some good times 'Tween them white chalk lines One day you're gonna hang up your cleats But boy, you're gonna be just fine 'Cause you ain't just a ball player You ain't just a home run ball on a shelf You ain't just a jersey with my last name on it Just a way to relive it myself Hope you make it to the bigs someday (someday) 'Cause son, I know that's your prayer But trust me, and the man upstairs Nah, you ain't just a ball player Love you now and I'ma love you later Yeah, you ain't just a ball player
