Joe Nichols - Ain't Nobody Gonna Take That From Me lyrics

I remember when baseball was everything

It was Little League but what a big game

There were two men on and one man out

I got a fastball hanging outside

I swung that bat with all my might and the ball was gone

They say I knocked the cover off

It was the only homer that I ever had

You shoulda seen my dad

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

As long as I'm holding on

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me

The devil on a good day ain't that strong

I'm keeping it here inside me

As long as I live and breathe

The ball was soaring and the crowd was roaring

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

I was nineteen, it was a good job

Moving TVs on a loading dock

Till the boss said: Son

Try to lose every seventh one

I got it worked out with a good friend

Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in

Now what do you say

Don't you want to be rich one day

I lost a real good job that night

But I kept my pride

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

As long as I'm holding on

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me

The devil on a good day ain't that strong

I'm keeping it here inside me

As long as I live and breathe

I said goodbye with my head held high

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

And sometimes it feels like

My best years are behind me

Then somehow, out of nowhere

Something sneaks up to remind me

Like this morning, I woke up

To a little voice that spoke up

Saying: Daddy, please

Fix a bowl of Rice Krispies

You're the bestest friend that I ever had

You know I love you Dad

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

As long as I'm holding on

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me

The devil on a good day ain't that strong

I'm keeping it here inside me

As long as I live and breathe

I got more than I ever asked for

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
