Ain`t Nobody Gonna Take That From Me

<br>(Rivers Rutherford/Sam Tate/Annie Tate)<br><br>I remember when baseball was everything<br>It was Little League, but what a big game<br>There were two men on and one man out<br>I got a fastball hangin` outside<br>I swung that bat with all my might<br>And the ball was gone<br>They say I knocked the cover off<br>It was the only homer that I ever had<br>You shoulda seen my dad<br><br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me<br>As long as I`m holdin` on<br>Heaven wouldn`t ask it of me<br>The devil on a good day ain`t that strong<br>I`m keepin` it here inside me<br>As long as I live and breathe<br>The ball was soarin` and the crowd was roarin`<br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me<br><br>I was nineteen, it was a good job<br>Movin` TVs on a loading dock<br>`Til the boss said, "Son<br>Try to lose every seventh one<br>I got it worked out with a good friend<br>Keep your mouth shut, and we`ll cut you in<br>Now what do you say<br>Don`t you want to be rich one day"<br>I lost a real good job that night<br>But I kept my pride<br><br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me<br>As long as I`m holdin` on<br>Heaven wouldn`t ask it of me<br>The devil on a good day ain`t that strong<br>I`m keepin` it here inside me<br>As long as I live and breathe<br>I said goodbye with my head held high<br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me<br><br>And sometimes it feels like <br>My best years are behind me<br>Then somehow, out of nowhere<br>Something sneaks up to remind me<br>Like this mornin`, I woke up<br>To a little voice that spoke up<br>Sayin`, "Daddy, please<br>Fix a bowl of Rice Krispies<br>You`re the bestest friend that I ever had<br>You know I love you Dad"<br><br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me<br>As long as I`m holdin` on<br>Heaven wouldn`t ask it of me<br>The devil on a good day ain`t that strong<br>I`m keepin` it here inside me<br>As long as I live and breathe<br>I got more than I ever asked for<br>And there ain`t nobody gonna take that from me
