Buy A Boy A Baseball

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

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, a little down the road

He can give a girl a diamond, put it on her hand

Watch her and her mama making all the plans

Get a little house on a little piece of land

Build a little family

So maybe one of these days he can

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

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

Oh, whoa

Buy a boy a baseball

Oh, whoa

He's watching you walking

He's hearing you talking

He wants to be you someday

He's growing up fast

And you can't get him 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

Buy a boy a baseball

Oh, whoa

Buy a boy a baseball

Oh, whoa
