Caroline Spence - Softball

That old tree house in the neighbor's yard
With the sign that says No Girls Allowed
I'd break on in and climb up high
Get the prettiest view of the town
And I'd think

One day coach will put me in
I've been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
And hit one out of the yard
And if there's one thing that I'm sure of
It's I could win 'em all
And when I make it to the majors
They ain't gonna call it softball

Now I work all day at the boy's club
Seventy-eight cents on the dollar
Some girls bow their head or just bow out
And I can't help but want to holler
Still saying

Hey coach, won't you put me in?
I've been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
And hit one out of the yard
If there's one thing that I'm learning
You can't win 'em all
And even when you're stealing the base
They're still gonna call it softball

Now when I'm done working I wanna blow off steam
And wear my best dress out
But outside of my grass-stained jeans
They keep thinking that I'm asking
For something I wasn't thinking about
I'm only asking

Hey coach, won’t you put me in?
I've been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
And hit one out of the yard
And if there's one thing that I'm sure of
You can't win 'em all
And they'll go to strike you out
And say: Cheer up, it's only softball!

Hey coach, won't you put me in?
I've been working hard
