Him and God and Me

I was just a boy of eight
Shakin’ from my head down to my toes
As he called me to the plate
The bottom of the ninth the crowd cried no
I felt a firm hand on my shoulder
Said keep your eye on the ball
I know you can do it son
Just give it your all
Chorus:
Well the pitcher came a gunnin’
The ball slicing’ through the air
With a fire burnin’ in my heart
Cause I knew he was there
Lendin’ all his courage
In a silent prayer you see
We hit that ball half a mile
Him and god and me
Have you ever wondered
How some moments in your life keep livin’ on
Years tend to slip away
You wake up one day
Wonderin’ where they’ve gone
Ah but he’ll live on inside my heart
Help me toe the line
When my back’s against the wall
The bottom of the ninth
Chorus:
Well the pitcher came a gunnin’
The ball slicing’ through the air
With a fire burnin’ in my heart
Cause I knew he was there
Lendin’ all his courage
In a silent prayer you see
We hit that ball half a mile
Him and god and me
Well I’ll come out a gunnin’
And try to do what’s fair
With a fire burnin’ in my heart
Cause I know he’ll be there
Lendin’ all his courage
And that’s what I believe
When my back’s against the wall
We’ll come gunnin’ pride and tall
We will rise above it all
Him and god and me
Him and god and me
