[Verse 1]
C
Pete chalks the ballfields down at Dennis Linde park
C
Turns the sprinklers on at sun-up and the lights on after dark
C
If you got time to talk, he'll give you his two cents
C
The grass is always greener on his side of the fence
C
Yeah
[Verse 2]
C
He lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam
C
Jokes he used to be a hitchhiker but not for very long
C
He runs off the gophers in a golf cart full of dents
C
And the grass is always greener cause he makes sure it is
C
Yeah
[Chorus]
F
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
C
And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
F
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Am G
Go to church, love your mama
C
And play ball
[Verse 3]
C
I broke into concessions once, but he didn't call the cops
C
He just made me clean the grease traps and replace the bubble pops
C
That's the spring that daddy left, he knew I was actin' out
C
And when I hit my first homerun, he took me to Golden Corral
Yeah
[Chorus]
F
Says you're old as you feel, and I feel 35
C
And any day you wake up's a damn good day to be alive
F
Soak it in when you win 'cause you can't win 'em all
Am G
Go to church, love your mama
C
And play ball

Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat
D
The world would be a better place if we all had a Pete
