Softball

[Verse 1]

That old tree house in the neighbor's yard

With the sign that says "No Girls Allowed"

I'd break on in and climb up high

Get the prettiest view of the town

And I'd think

[Chorus 1]

One day Coach will put me in

I've been working hard

I can catch any pop fly

And hit one out of the yard

And if there's one thing that I'm sure of

It's I could win 'em all

And when I make it to the majors

They ain't gonna call it 'softball'

[Verse 2]

Now I work all day at the boy's club

Seventy-eight cents on the dollar

Some girls bow their head or just bow out

And I can't help but want to holler

Still saying

[Chorus 2]

Hey Coach, won't you put me in?

I've been working hard

I can catch any pop fly

And hit one out of the yard

If there's one thing that I'm learning

You can't win 'em all

And even when you're stealing the base

They're still gonna call it 'softball'

[Verse 3]

Now when I'm done working I wanna blow off steam

And wear my best dress out

But outside of my grass-stained jeans

They keep thinking that I'm asking for something I wasn't thinking about

I'm only asking

[Chorus 3]

Hey Coach, won’t you put me in?

I've been working hard

I can catch any pop fly

And hit one out of the yard

And if there's one thing that I'm sure of

You can't win 'em all

And they'll go to strike you out

And say "Cheer up, it's only softball!"

[Outro]

Hey Coach, won't you put me in?

I've been working hard
