I caught a foul ball up in the bleachers

And the shortstop autographed it

I keep it on the dresser

With every day that passes

I've been throwin' it to myself

I've got pretty good at catchin'

I just called to say I miss you

And making sure you know that

It's my birthday pretty soon

All I want is for you to.

Take me out to the ballgame

Pick me up at the house

What's this "every other weekend" thing even all about?

'cause mama says she loves you

And in some ways always will

I guess maybe things are different now

But daddy, can't you still

Take me out to the ballgame?

I'd sure love to go again

Seems like it's been so long

We could get some tickets friday night

Me and you and maybe mom

'cause I feel like it's my fault

That you two ain't together

I'm so sorry I was bad

I promise I'll be better

'cause I just wanna see you

And if you'll come back, you don't have to.

Take me out to the ballgame

Pick me up at the house

What's this "every other weekend" thing even all about?

'cause mama says she loves you

And in some ways always will

I guess maybe things are different now

But daddy, can't you still

Take me out to the ballgame?

We'd eat hotdogs in them same seats

And in the 7th inning, we'd sing.

Take me out to the ballgame

Pick me up at the house

What's this "every other weekend" thing even all about?

'cause mama says she loves you

And in some ways always will

I guess maybe things are different now

But daddy, can't you still

Take me out to the ballgame?

Take me out to the ballgame.
