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
You 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, ooh, ooh, ooh
Buy a boy a baseball, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 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, ooh, ooh, ooh
Buy a boy a baseball, ooh, ooh, ooh
