Grew up in LA and I like to play baseball

I'm five years old and I don't have hardly anything at all

Except this little blue hat that goes with the bat
G D G A
That my Momma gave me the very last time I saw her
D G D
I live with a family and they don't even know I'm there

I can go for a walk ten city blocks and they don't even care
Bm A
I have imaginary friends who I pretend
G D
Would play baseball 'till the very end

Of the day, aww but thats ok

Well thats all I have

Thats who I am

Moved in with a new family that had an older son
D G
He became my big brother we were best friends with each other

We played ball till the setting sun

Then he had to go to war

And I didn't know what for

I asked him not to go

As he walked out the door
G A
He said to me oh I have to leave
