Lyrics

Buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a Bible, teach him how to pray
Thank the good Lord at the end of the day
Wake him up early, teach him how to work
Spend his own money, show him what it's worth, yeah
He's gonna know it all, he'll slip and he'll fall
He'll pick himself up, amen
Yes, sir, yes, ma'am, show him how to be a man
So one of these days he can
Buy a girl flowers, take her to a show
Treat her like a lady and maybe down the road
He'll give a girl a diamond, put it on her hand
Watch her and her mama making all the plans
Then get a little house on a little piece of land
Build a little family
So maybe one of these days he can, yeah
Buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a Bible, teach him how to pray
Thank the good Lord at the end of the day
Yeah, he's gonna know it all, he'll slip and he'll fall
He'll pick himself up, amen
Yes, sir, yes, ma'am, show him how to be a man
So one of these days he can
Buy a boy a baseball
Give a boy a Bible
He's watching you walk and he's hearing you talk
And he wants to be you someday
He's growing up fast and you can't get it back
Right now he just wants to play
So buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a Bible, teach him how to pray
And keep thanking the Lord all day, yeah
Buy a boy a Baseball, yeah
Give a boy a bible
Buy a boy a baseball
