Pete chalks the ballfields down at Dennis Linde park Turns the sprinklers on at sun-up and the lights on after dark If you got time to talk, he'll give you his two cents The grass is always greener on his side of the fence Yeah He lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam Jokes he used to be a hitchhiker but not for very long He runs off the gophers in a golf cart full of dents And the grass is always greener cause he makes sure it is Yeah Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35 And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all Go to church, love your mama And play ball I broke into concessions once, but he didn't call the cops He just made me clean the grease traps and replace the bubble pops That's the spring that daddy left, he knew I was actin' out And when I hit my first homerun, he took me to Golden Corral Yeah Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35 And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive SongtexteSoak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all Go to church, love your mama And play ball Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat The world would be a better place if we all had a Pete Aus Songtexte Mania
