Father told me one day
To hit the baseball in any way
And what the hell did I do?
I blow on a fastball he just threw

Keep your eye on the ball
I just happened to know it all
As I grew, and with strength
I kept it on to get a hit
My dad said, son....

Keep your eye on the ball (2x)

It was the advice Dad gave to me
to be in this baseball reality
And all through high school alone
My batting stance just grew strong

In college, I stepped up to the plate
And took the advice Dad understands
So to all you future scouts out there
Do what your father said this here...

Keep your eye on the ball
So that you
Keep your eye on the ball
So you can be like Cal Ripken, Lord
Keep your eye on the ball
Surely, you'll be on the cover of SI

During my pro career, I lived free
was in baseball reality
Ooh, and winning a title alone
Gave my Dad's advice and helped me stay strong

Hey, to all you future scouts out there
Advice all Dads just need to understand
Every one wants this line to hear
In a sunny backyard atmosphere, Listen...

Keep your eye on the ball
Keep your eye on the ball
Don't strike out with your head hung down
Keep your eye on the ball
Keep your eye on the ball
You'll be on the cover of TSN and SI

Keep your eye on the ball
Keep your eye on the ball

(ladies)
Keep your eye on the ball
