Caught a foul ball up in the bleachers and the shortstop autograph
I keep it on the dresser and every day that passes
I been throwing it to myself, I got pretty good at catching
I just called to say I miss you and making sure you know that
It's my birthday pretty soon
And all I want is for you to

Take me out to the ball game
Pick me up at the house
What's this every other weekend thing even all about?
'Cause mama said she loves you, and in some ways always will
I guess maybe things are different now, but daddy can't you still?
Take me out to the ball game

I'd sure love to go again, seems like it's been so long
If we could get some tickets Friday night, me and you and maybe mom
I feel like it's my fault that you two ain't together
And I'm so sorry I was bad, I promise I'll be better
'Cause I just wanna see
If you'll come back, you don't have to

Take me out to the ball game
Pick me up at the house
What's this every other weekend thing even all about?
Mama said she loves you, and in some ways always will
I guess maybe things are different now, but daddy can't you still?
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the ball game

We'd eat hot dogs in them same seats
In the seventh inning, we'd sing

Take me out to the ball game
Pick me up at the house
What's this every other weekend thing even all about?
Mama said she loves you, and in some ways always will
I guess maybe things are different now, but daddy can't you still?
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the ball game
