A SONG ABOUT BASEBALL W/M: Bob Bennett (C) 1982 EMI Christian Music Group (Straightway Music) Saturdays on the baseball field And me afraid of the ball Just another kid on Camera Day When the Angels still played in L.A. I was smiling in living black and white Baseball caps and bubble gum I think there's a hole in my glove Three-and-two, life and death I was swinging with eyes closed Holding my breath I was dying on my way to the bench But none of it mattered after the game When my father would find me And call out my name A soft drink, a snow cone, a candy bar A limousine ride in the family car He loved me no matter how I played He loved me no matter how I played But none of it mattered after the game When my father would find me And call out my name Dreaming of glory the next time out My father showed me what love is about He loved me no matter how I played He loved me no matter how I played But none of it mattered after the game When my father would find me And call out my name

She needed punchy western skies Cowboys with barbed wire eyes Two by fours in the back of her Ford She gonna build that life she been waitin' for, waitin' for Workin' at the truckstop in town Everybody know her story 'bout now Rodeo love is a dirty heartbreak Only the Lord above know how much more she can take She rollin' down, down, down Like a Texas tumbleweed Far outta town, town, town Two-steppin' in blue jeans Just a cowgirl with a dream Cowgirl with a dream Nobody warned her about the highway life She just learned it on her own The kinda skin it takes to stay in A world of wild horses on the run Motel neon shinin', shinin' Dive bar love, on and off What kept her up at night, pinin', pinin'? What is it she really wants? Oh-oh She rollin' down, down, down Like a Texas tumbleweed Far outta town, town, town Two-steppin' in blue jeans She rollin' down, down, down Like a Texas tumbleweed Far outta town, town, town Two-steppin' in blue jeans Just a cowgirl with a dream Cowgirl with a dream She needed punchy western skies Cowboys with barbed wire eyes Two by fours in the back of her Ford She gonna build that life she been waitin' for

The day that I met you I started dreaming Now I write 'em down if I remember in the morning time I don't know that much about Kingston But I like the sound it makes when it starts pouring rain I think that tonight I'll leave my light on 'Cause I get lonely when it's out and I miss you right about now Baby tell me where you want to go Baby tell me what you want to know Give you everything I have and more He said baby, that's what he called me, I love you Every single word you say makes me feel some type of way It's the thought of you that slightly scares me But it takes my breath away, forget what I was gonna say The day that I met you I started dreaming Now I write 'em down if I remember in the morning time Baby tell me where you want to go Baby tell me what you want to know Give you everything I have and more Baby tell me where you want to go Baby tell me what you want to know Give you everything I have and more Baby tell me where you want to go Baby tell me what you want to know Give you everything I have and more

I've got a box of memories under my bed And when I take it out it messes with my head Covered in the thickest coat of dust You taste it when it opens up Sometimes when I get lonely I dive deep inside Dig through the polaroids and letters that I hide From myself cause it's so hard to see The things that once held all of me And ooh Still got your picture Torn in two But I just can't throw away You So I keep your memory in my room Still got my ticket from the first movie we saw With all our friends How are they? 'Cause I don't know at all Haven't seen them since 2013 But they're in my box of memories And ooh That ring is still as good as New But It's at the bottom 'cause of You And it stays in my Room with all the rest of these recollections I know they're dead but they ain't in heaven No they ain't in heaven Try to find any one good exception I know I can but where have they been Where have they been I've got a box of memories under my bed And when I take it out it messes with my head But I do it anyways So it all stays
