VERSE 1
Runninā circles in a diaper, āround bases in the grass, Plastic tee standinā crooked, but hittinā the ball fast. A wiffle down the middle, lighting up the yard with sparkā Yeah, that backyard dirt was where a lifetime found its start.
PREāCHORUS 1
Those little moments in the sunshine turn bigger than they seem, Before long, stepping forward into pieces of a dreamā¦
CHORUS
From the boy to the man, With a baseball in hand, Guess it all was part of Godās perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteāstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsā Thatās a life built on plastic tee dreams.
VERSE 2
From tāball in the rain to coach pitch in the sun, Machine pitch, minors, majorsāevery season on the run. Travel ball in summer, high school under hometown lights, A freshman letter, noāhitterābuilding up a future bright.
PREāCHORUS 2
Those long nights on the field start shaping something deep inside, Before long, stepping forward into life beyond the teamā¦
CHORUS
From the boy to the man, With a baseball in hand, Guess it all was part of Godās perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteāstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsā Thatās 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 wornāout seams, Funny how the smallest starts turn into bigger things. From backyard swings to ballpark scenes, itās clearer now indeedā 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 Godās perfect plan. From plastic tee dreams to the D1 scene, Growing up chasing that whiteāstitched life. Yeah, the backyard dirt to the stadium beamsā Thatās a life built on plastic tee dreams.
