5 on First

Number 5 on the back of that jersey

Blond hair falling out of his hat

Blue eyes same color as the ocean

Got a smile you just had to smile back

He had a lot about him

Like nothing you could ever explain

I'd do just about anything

To see number 5 on first again

So don't take life for granted

And love the ones you love

Cause you never know when you're gonna throw

The last ball in your glove

I know he's watching home runs from heaven

If I was a betting man, I'd bet

That I'ma see him there when I get upstairs, number 5 on first again

Sometimes life hits like a curveball, on a bases loaded count

It's all diamond rings and fields of dreams

Till three strikes and you're out

Heaven knows that I miss him

But I'll see him round the bend

I'd do just about anything To see number 5 on first again

So don't take life for granted

And love the ones you love

Cause you never know when they're gonna throw

The last ball in your glove

I know he's watching home runs from heaven

If I was a betting man I'd bet

That I'ma see him there when I get upstairs

Number 5 on first again

Number 5 on first again

I bet he's pulling up to the gates

Got his Louisville race

Pointed at the Hall of Fame

He's gonna be the talk of the town

If we were talking right now

I know he'd say

Don't take life for granted

And love the ones you love

Cause you never know when they're gonna throw

The last ball in your glove

I know he's watching home runs from heaven

If I was a betting man, I'd bet

That I'ma see him there when I get upstairs

Number five on first again

Buddy, I can't wait till I see that day

Number 5 on first again

Number 5 on first again
