[Al]

Song sung in the style of Willy Nelson.



You can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

Cause it’s a game with cuts and scars and pain

Tennessee in the Summer, Can really be a bummer

But it does you no good to complain.


Well, you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

It’s best you just join in and play the game

Let me do some explainin’, don’t be whining or complainin’...

Cause you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball



Well I saw a girl the other day, she took a grounder to the nose

As she lay there bleeding... I noticed she was bruised from head to toe!

Later that inning she went to bat and took a fastball to the head

But before she went unconscious, well this is what she said, she said...



You can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

It’s best you just join in and play the game.

If you’re afraid of swellin’ then you won’t like what their sellin’

You’ll get sunburn, bumps, and bruises, and scars

And you never be the same...


I said, you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

Once again I’ll tell you that it’s true.

If you’re afraid of bleedin’, it won’t be long and you’ll be leavin’

Cause you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball



Every time I turn around we score another run

The other team don’t like it, but we think it’s lots of fun

They pull their pitcher she starts to cry and her eyes begin to swell

We all huddle up and then we turn to her and yell, ….WE YELL!



You can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

Cause it’s a game with cuts and scars and pain

Tennessee in the Summer, Can really be a bummer

But it does you no good to complain...


I said, you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

It’s best you just join in and play the game

Start crying while you’re playing, and on the bench you’ll be stayin’

Cause you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball



You can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball

It’s best you just join in and play the game

If you can’t take the pressure you may want to stick to checkers...


And if you wanna run to your momma, you better stick with choir or drama

And if running makes you a hurler, you better stay home and be a twirler

Cause you can’t be a wimp and play girl’s softball!!!
