Lyrics
I'm living the dream of baseball fame
I made the team and I'm playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
Grass is greener in a big league park
Lights are brighter out among the stars
This is my season I'm playing from the heart
I used to wonder if I could get this far
Ohhh
I'm living the dream of baseball fame
I made the team and I'm playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
I felt like dancing the day I got the call
And this is my chance to hit it over the wall
Out on the field, I'm feeling ten feet tall
I got a new number and baby that ain't all
I'm living the dream of baseball fame
I made the team and I'm playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
Living the dream, playing the game
Yeah
