Little Slugger Letra

When he stepped up to the mound
Well, I saw him knock it out of the park
You know it made his ol' daddy proud
Enough to drive him out to McDonalds
And you know that's sacred ground

But he's my little slugger
And he's gonna make it big someday
Through the lord that reigns above
Well, you know he's gonna find a way
And I might be dead from drinkin'
Like his mother, and the one before
But I'll be watching up from heaven
As he impresses me a little more

I still remember when he broke his leg
The day his mama taught him to walk
Well, he came falling down the stairs
And I had a conversation with God
Cause we all know about those doctors
And just how wrong that they can be
But you know he was always there
When I was too blind to even see

That he's my little slugger
And he's gonna make it big someday
Through the lord that reigns above
Well, you know he's gonna find a way
And I might be dead from drinkin'
Like his mother, and the one before
But I'll be watching up from heaven
As he impresses me a little more

I know his mama would be proud as me
If she didn't get condemned to hell
You know the last words on her lips
Surely couldn't have done her well
But I'm trying to raise my son
Not to think or talk that way
And I hope the lord forgives me
For every time I've punched him in the face

Cause he's my little slugger
And he's gonna make it big someday
Through the lord that reigns above
Well, you know he's gonna find a way
And I might be dead from drinkin'
Like his mother, and the one before
But I'll be watching up from heaven
As he impresses me a little more

Yeah, I might be dead from drinkin'
Like his mother, and the one before
But I'll be watching up from heaven
As he impresses me a little more
