Now Jimmy was gonna be the star of my family

But God retired his number early,

took his uniform but not his philosophy

Now Jimmy he could throw, faster than anyone will ever know

But his best was his grip, on his dreams he wouldn't let go

He said "What else would I have to show?" (CHR)

CHR "In this life you only get one solid chance

to make what you love last"

When you're at third base you head for home

Know you'll never, ever play this game alone

When you're up or down follow the bases around

Always hit that ball like you want it all. . .tonight!

In my dad's garage his cleats hang on a nail

In memory of a legend from the pitcher's mound

He lived for two sounds "one the roar of the crowd

And a fine young girl saying I'll buy you a round."

One thing you can say is Jimmy knew his place

His love for life read like a map on his face

By keeping the batters all off of the base

He won his race: Jimmy's pace, Jimmy's way (CHR)
