Fastball - Make Your Mama Proud

I can still recall a time
You were not so far behind
You were only fifteen
And you still had peace of mind

Now you're pushing thirty-one
Duty calls, you cut and run
When will this be over with
When will you be gone?

Be a man, try to be tough Once is never quite enough
Give me twenty minutes in between
If you know what I mean
You gotta give if you wanna get
Never let 'em see you sweat
You may cry and you may bleed
But only take the punches you need

Why do you back down
In the face of a big fight?
