[Verse 1]
These bleachers are older, but they still hold the sound
Of your foot steps beside me, and the crowd all around
I still see you smiling, waving me home
Like you’re still right here, not a memory gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I was just a kid tryin’ hard not to fall
But you stood in my corner through every call

[Chorus]
The crack of the bat under stadium lights
The sound of forever on a summer night
The cheers and the echo still shout out my name
I’d chase back the years for just one more game
One more laugh, I’d give all I had
To hear you again in the crack of the bat

[Verse 2]
You said, “Don’t let the misses get stuck in your head”
“Just keep showin’ up — that’s how winners are bred”
The game was a teacher, but your voice was the guide
I carry it with me, it’s still by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
You weren’t just a coach, you were more than a dad
You gave me the grit I forgot that I had

[Chorus]
The crack of the bat under stadium lights
The sound of forever on a summer night
The cheers and the echo still shout out my name
I’d chase back the years for just one more game
One more laugh, I’d give all I had
To hear you again in the crack of the bat

[Bridge]
Now I’m sittin’ in the dugout, lookin’ out at the field
Feelin’ you with me in the swing and the steel
Heaven’s the grandstand, and you’re watchin’ me play
Smilin’ and shoutin’, “Son, swing away”

[Final Chorus]
The crack of the bat under stadium lights
The sound of forever on a summer night
The cheers and the echo still shout out my name
I’d chase back the years for just one more game
One more laugh, I’d give all I had
Forever I’ll find you in the crack of the bat
