Ashley McBryde - Play Ball: chords

C
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

Chorus:
            F
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
         C
And any day you wake up's a damn good day
to be alive
        F
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't
win 'em all
      Am                 G
Go to church, love your mama
      C
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 that first home run,
he took me to Golden Corral, yeah

Chorus:
Says, "You're old as you feel,
and I feel thirty-five
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," yeah

D
Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat
The world would be a better place if we
all had a Pete
