[Chorus]
Buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a bible, teach him how to pray
Thank the good Lord at the end of the day
Wake him up early, teach him how to work
Spend his own money, show him what it's worth

[Refrain]
He's gonna know it all
He'll slip and he'll fall
He'll pick himself up, Amen
Yes sir, yes ma'am
Show him how to be a man
So one of these days he can

[Verse 1]
Buy a girl flowers, take her to a show
Treat her like a lady, little down the road he
He can givе a girl a diamond, put it on her hand
Watch her and her momma making all thе plans
Get a little house on a little piece of land
Build a little family so maybe one of these days he can

[Chorus]
Buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a bible, teach him how to pray
Thank the good Lord at the end of the day
[Refrain]
He's gonna know it all
He'll slip and he'll fall
He'll pick himself up, Amen
Yes sir, yes ma'am
Show him how to be a man
So one of these days he can

[Post-Chorus]
Buy a boy a baseball, oh, ohh
Buy a boy a baseball, oh, ohh

[Bridge]
He's watching you walking
He's hearing you talking
He wants to be you someday
He's growing up fast
And you can't get him back
Right now he just wants to play

[Chorus]
So buy a boy a baseball, get him outside
Get his hands dirty, take a little time
Give a boy a bible, teach him how to pray
Keep thanking the Lord all day
[Post-Chorus]
Buy a boy a baseball, oh, ohh
Buy a boy a baseball, oh, ohh
