Jeff's Song Lyrics

V1

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY
DOWN ON OUR SOUTH DAKOTA FARM
I'D COUNT THOSE LONG COLD WINTER DAYS
IN THE BLACK HILLS
UNTIL IT FINALLY GOT WARM

SO AFTER THE CORN BEGAN TO GET BIG AND TALL
I KNEW IT WAS ALMOST TIME......................

TO PLAY BALL

CHORUS:

I STARTED OUT IN T-BALL
I COULD BARELY HIT THE BAT.
SOME SAID I WOULD NEVER MAKE
IT BECAUSE
I WAS A LITTLE TOO FAT
BUT I LEARNED THE RULES
AND PLAYED THE GAME
AND HIT A FEW HOME RUNS
YEAH EVERYTHING CHANGED
THAT CHRISTMAS WHEN
MY DADDY BOUGHT ME
MY FIRST GLOVE

V2

HE SAID
ITS THE ALL AMERICAN PAST TIME
SON NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
I'M SURE YOU'LL DO FINE.
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO KEEP HITTING THE BALL
AND RUNNING THOSE BASE-LINES
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL
YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL.
YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE THE GAME
THE GAME YOUR HEART AND YOUR LOVE.
YEAH EVERYTHING CHANGED
THAT CHRISTMAS WHEN HE GAVE ME
MY FiRST BASEBALL GLOVE.

Chorus:

I STARTED OUT IN T-BALL
I COULD BARELY HIT THE BAT.
SOME SAID I WOULD NEVER MAKE
IT BECAUSE
I WAS A LITTLE TOO FAT
BUT I LEARNED THE RULES
AND PLAYED THE GAME
AND HIT A FEW HOME RUNS
YEAH EVERYTHING CHANGED
THAT CHRISTMAS WHEN
MY DADDY BOUGHT ME
MY FIRST GLOVE
