When I was just a boy
Out on the field, all is revealed in baseball
I could do no wrong in baseball

The smell of chalk and grass
Dusty diamonds were my dominion
That's where I belonged, in baseball

Always afraid of my own shadow
Never felt like I belonged
I could not wait until summer came along
Counting the days 'til then

Making overhead catches like Willie Mays
Swiping bases, foul ball chases, going for the cycle
I could do no wrong in baseball

Whoah, oh, oh, oh
Whoah, oh, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah

Always afraid of my own shadow
Never felt like I belonged
I could not wait until summer came along
Counting the days 'til then

When I was just a boy
Living a dream, what did it mean to me
I knew that greatness was possible
I could be myself

And I could do no wrong in baseball
And I could do no wrong in baseball
And I could do no wrong in baseball
