VERSE 1
Runninâ circles in a diaper, âround bases in the grass, Plastic tee standinâ crooked, but hittinâ the ball fast. A wiffle down the middle, lighting up the yard with sparkâ Yeah, that backyard dirt was where a lifetime found its start.
PREâCHORUS 1
Those little moments in the sunshine turn bigger than they seem, Before long, stepping forward into pieces of a dreamâŠ
CHORUS
From the boy to the man, With a baseball in hand, Guess it all was part of Godâs perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteâstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsâ Thatâs a life built on plastic tee dreams.
VERSE 2
From tâball in the rain to coach pitch in the sun, Machine pitch, minors, majorsâevery season on the run. Travel ball in summer, high school under hometown lights, A freshman letter, noâhitterâbuilding up a future bright.
PREâCHORUS 2
Those long nights on the field start shaping something deep inside, Before long, stepping forward into life beyond the teamâŠ
CHORUS
From the boy to the man, With a baseball in hand, Guess it all was part of Godâs perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteâstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsâ Thatâs a life built on plastic tee dreams.
VERSE 3
Five years on the college fields, a lefty finding stride, Long bus rides and summer leagues, the game became a guide. From starting on the mound to relief when they were pressed, Always giving nothing but his best. But every pitch thrown under pressure built the man he came to be.
BRIDGE
Nearly twenty years of summers, chalk lines and wornâout seams, Funny how the smallest starts turn into bigger things. From backyard swings to ballpark scenes, itâs clearer now indeedâ Every step was leading where a life was meant to lead.
FINAL CHORUS
From the boy to the man, With a baseball in hand, Guess it all was part of Godâs perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteâstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsâ Thatâs a life built on plastic tee dreams.
