"Buy A Boy A Baseball" 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

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
