Ain't Nobody Gonna Take That From Me Lyrics - Real Things - Joe Nichols

I remember when baseball was everything 

It was Little League, what a big game 

There were two men on and one man out 

I got a fastball hangin' outside 

I swung that bat with all my might 

And ball was gone 

They say I knocked the cover off 

Was the only homer that I ever had 

Should've seen my dad 

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me 

As long as I'm holdin' on 

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me 

Devil on a good day ain't that strong 

Well, I'm keepin' it here inside of me 

As long as I live and breathe 

The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin' 

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me 

I was nineteen, it was a good job 

Movin' TV's on a loading dock 

'Til 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 holdin' on 

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me 

The Devil on a good day ain't that strong 

Well, I'm keepin' it here inside of 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 mornin', I woke up to a little voice that spoke up 

Sayin', "Daddy, please, fix a bowl of Rice Krispies 

You're the bestest friend that I ever had 

Oh, I love you, Dad" 

And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me 

As long as I'm holdin' on 

Heaven wouldn't ask it of me 

The Devil on a good day ain't that strong 

Well, I'm keepin' 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 

Nobody
