Skippin' Stones
By Steve Seskin and Austin Gardiner
I PLAYED FIRST BASE IN LITTLE LEAGUE
I ALWAYS BATTED NINTH
IT WAS A GOOD THING I COULD CATCH AND THROW
I COULDN'T HIT TO SAVE MY LIFE
IT WAS AGAINST THE MAYFIELD TIGERS
DON'T YA KNOW IT WAS MY FATE
THE BASES LOADED, TWO MEN OUT
ONE RUN DOWN AND MY TURN AT THE PLATE
HE THREW THREE b****, I MISSED THEM ALL
TWELVE YEARS OLD FEELIN' TWO FEET TALL
DRIVIN' HOME MY DADDY SAID
"IT'S ALL GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
WHADDYA SAY WE HEAD DOWN TO THE LAKE
WHILE THERE'S STILL A LITTLE LIGHT? WE'LL GO"
CHORUS:
SKIPPIN' STONES
SCARE ALL THE FISH AWAY
YOU AND ME AND A LAZY DAY
WE CAN WATCH THE SUN SET INTO THE LAKE
SKIPPIN' STONES
FIND US ONE AND LET IT GO
WE'LL COUNT THE JUMPS WITH EVERY THROW
I'LL TEACH YOU ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT
SKIPPIN' STONES
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS FINDIN' THAT RIGHT ROCK
'CAUSE EVEN CATFISH HUNTER
COULDN'T MAKE THE WRONG ONE HOP
ITS NOT ALL IN THE TIMIN'
IT'S NOT ALL IN THE WRIST
JUST PLAY THE WIND, LET ONE FLY
JUST LIKE LIFE IT'S ALWAYS HIT OR MISS
NOW TIME HAS PASSED AND SO HAS DAD
BUT THE WISDOM OF HIS WORDS STILL LASTS
AND WHEN I'M DOWN I CAN HEAR HIM SAY
"IT'S ALL GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
WHADDYA SAY WE HEAD DOWN TO THE LAKE
WHILE THERE'S STILL A LITTLE LIGHT? WE'LL GO"
REPEAT CHORUS
