The Greatest Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Little boy in a baseball hat 

Stands in the feild with his ball and bat 

Says, I am the greatest player of them all. 

Put his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up the ball. 

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down 

Swings his bat all the way around 

The worlds so still he can hear the sound 

The baseball falls to the ground. 

Now the little boy doesn't say a word 

Picks up his ball, he is undeterred 

Says, I am the greatest there has ever been. 

And he grits his teeth and he tries it again. 

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down 

Swings his bat all the way around 

The worlds so still he can hear the sound 

The baseball falls to the ground.

He makes no excuses 

He shows no fear 

He just closes his eyes 

And listens to the cheers. 

Little boy, he adjusts his hat 

Picks up his ball, stares at his bat 

Says, I am the greatest, the game is on the line. 

And he gives his all one last time. 

And the ball goes up when the moons so bright 

Swings his bat with all his might 

And the worlds so still as still can be 

And the baseball falls and thats strike three. 

Now it's suppertime and his mama calls 

Little boy starts home with his bat and ball 

Says, I am the greatest that is a fact. 

But even I didn't know I could pitch like that!

Says, I am the greatest 

That is understood 

But even I didn't know 

I could pitch that good...
