Playin' Catch

[00:13.36] I'd go out on the front porch 'round 4:45
[00:19.55] His glove on my left hand, a baseball in my right
[00:25.51] He'd pull down the driveway, still in his work clothes
[00:31.57] Wouldn't even walk inside, he'd just say, "Buddy, let's go"
[00:37.41] And I thought we were just playin' catch
[00:42.22] But he was playin' catch out in the backyard
[00:46.14] Tryna catch up for a while
[00:49.24] Just to catch what I've been doin'
[00:51.51] 'Cause he'd been workin' all the time
[00:55.15] I was thinkin' about a fast ball
[00:58.28] He was thinkin' how fast time flies
[01:01.23] But all of that went right over my head
[01:07.16] He was catchin' up and I was just playin' catch
[01:14.55] Yeah, I was just playin' catch
[01:19.67]
[01:22.39] We'd stay out there 'til mom said, "Supper's gettin' cold"
[01:27.32] 'Cause he knew that I'd grow up and be goin', goin', gone
[01:34.56] He knew there'd be strike outs and curve balls I couldn't see
[01:40.37] And lookin' back, I think his way of teachin' me
[01:45.95] Was playin' catch out in the backyard
[01:49.16] Tryna catch up for a while
[01:52.20] Just to catch what I've been doin'
[01:54.57] 'Cause he's been workin' all the time
[01:58.13] I was thinkin' about a fast ball
[02:01.10] He was thinkin' how fast time flies
[02:04.27] But all of that went right over my head
[02:10.16] He was catchin' up and I was just playin' catch
[02:15.62] And now I get
[02:19.00] Why he stayed out there with me until sunset
[02:23.46] 'Cause now I got one of my own
[02:31.01] And he's waitin' to hit a home run
[02:34.07] So I'm runnin' home
[02:37.11] Playin' catch out in the backyard
[02:40.16] Tryna catch up for a while
[02:43.18] Just to catch what he's been doin'
[02:45.69] 'Cause I've been workin' all the time
[02:48.97] He's thinkin' about a fast ball
[02:52.00] And I'm thinkin' how fast time flies
[02:55.13] And I'm hangin' on every single word he says
[03:01.01] Yeah, I'm catchin' up and he's just playin' catch
[03:08.61] Yeah, he's just playin' catch
[03:23.61]
