I caught a foul ball up in the bleachers And the shortstop autographed it
I keep it on the dresser With every day that passes
I've been throwin' it to myself I've got pretty good at catchin'
I just called to say I miss you And making sure you know that
* It's my birthday pretty soon All I want is for you to
** Take me out to the ballgame Pick me up at the house
What's this "every other weekend" thing even all about?
'Cause Mama says she loves you And in some ways always will
I guess maybe things are different now But Daddy, can't you still
Take me out to the ballgame?
I'd sure love to go again Seems like it's been so long
We could get some tickets Friday night Me and you and maybe Mom
'Cause I feel like it's my fault That you two ain't together
I'm so sorry I was bad I promise I'll be better

We'd eat hotdogs in them same seats And in the 7th inning, we'd sing
