Ain't Nobody Gonna Take That From Me

I remember when baseball was everything
 It was Little League, but what a big game
 There were two men on and one man out
 I got a fastball hangin' outside
 I swung that bat with all my might
 And the ball was gone
 They say I knocked the cover off
 It was the only homer that I ever had
 You shoulda seen my dad
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
 As long as I'm holdin' on
 Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
 The devil on a good day ain't that strong
 I'm keepin' it here inside me
 As long as I live and breathe
 The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin'
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
 I was nineteen, it was a good job
 Movin' TVs on a loading dock
 'Til the boss said, "Son
 Try to lose every seventh one
 I got it worked out with a good friend
 Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
 Now what do you say
 Don't you want to be rich one day"
 I lost a real good job that night
 But I kept my pride
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
 As long as I'm holdin' on
 Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
 The devil on a good day ain't that strong
 I'm keepin' it here inside me
 As long as I live and breathe
 I said goodbye with my head held high
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
 And sometimes it feels like
 My best years are behind me
 Then somehow, out of nowhere
 Something sneaks up to remind me
 Like this mornin', I woke up
 To a little voice that spoke up
 Sayin', "Daddy, please
 Fix a bowl of Rice Krispies
 You're the bestest friend that I ever had
 You know I love you Dad"
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
 As long as I'm holdin' on
 Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
 The devil on a good day ain't that strong
 I'm keepin' it here inside me
 As long as I live and breathe
 I got more than I ever asked for
 And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
