 I bet you’ve got it all figured out,
Said the old man, sitting at the end of  bar
Buy us a round and I’ll tell you the secrets of life

You know anything about  baseball

This guy didn’t know me from Adam,
but his offer caught my ear

So I moved over and sat down beside him
He ordered Whiskey and a couple beers
And he said


Chorus
 Sometimes life throws a strike, fastball right over the plate
 You hit it out of the park, you’re the MVP of the game
Other times, it will shatter your nerves
That’s why you got to learn
to hit the curve

When I was your age, I had it all planned out
Until the policeman brought me the news

Then A 10 year old comes home from school
To find her daddy down on his knees

That’s when your world stops turning

Enough to drive a man insane
Every day goes by I miss my wife
I’m just her drinking away the pain


Repeat Chorus

TAG:   Make sure you don’t end up like me
That’s why you got to learn

to hit the curve
