^{There's a hundred years of history                                    
And a hundred years before that                                      
All gathered in the thinking                                               
Going on beneath his ball cap.                                           
                                                                                              
The cold flame burns within him                                       
Til' his skins as cold as ice                                                  
And the dues he paid to get her                                        
Are worth every sacrifice.                                                  
                                                                                              
All the miles spent sleepy drivin                                        
All the money down the drain                                            
All the if's and nearly's                                                       
All the bandages and Pain.                                                 
                                                                                              
All the female tears left dryin'                                            
All the fever and the fight                                                  
Are just a small down payment                                          
On the drive he makes tonight.                                          
                                                                                              
It's guts and love and glory                                                
One mortals chance at fame                                               
His legacy is softball
