Joe Nichols - If Nobody Believed In You lyrics

I watched him take the two-strike call

He hadn't tried to swing at all

I quess he'd had all he could take

He walked away, for goodness' sake

His father's voice was loud and mean:

"You won't amount to anything"

That little boy quit trying

He just walked away

There were teardrops on his face

Tell me, how would you feel?

You'd probably give up, too

If nobody believed in you

That old man said, "One more try

I know I'm not too old to drive

I promise son I'll do my best

This time I'm gonna pass the test"

"Give me the keys, Dad, and get in"

His father never drove again

That old man quit trying

He just turned away

And there were teardrops on his face

Tell me, how would you feel?

You'd probably give up, too

If nobody believed in you

We take His name out of the schools

The lawyers say it breaks the rules

The Pledge of Allegiance can't be written

And under God should not be said

I wonder how much He will take?

I just pray it's not too late

What if God quit trying?

He just turned away?

There were teardrops on His face?

Tell me, how would you feel?

You'd probably give up, too

If nobody believed in you
