[Verse 1] I was the small kid, waiting my turn Poured in the work, let the bruises burn Laps after school, dirt on my knees Swing after swing, I built up speed They said "not yet," I said "watch me grow" Kept my head down, kept my grip on the rope Now I step in, face full of calm Bigger kids around me, but I belong [Pre-Chorus] Count me in I came too far One hard year Turned into stars Hands on the bat Eyes on the zone All that work Pulled me home [Chorus] I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I earned this, I lived this I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I came up, I hit this I play with the big kids [Verse 2] Same old glove, now it fits just right Same old dream, but the lights burn bright Coach calls my name, I don't shake now I know the weight of the moment now I learned to run when my legs got tired Learned to swing when the fear got wired Little kid heart in a bigger frame Still got fire, still got game [Pre-Chorus] Count me in I came too far One hard year Turned into stars Hands on the bat Eyes on the zone All that work Pulled me home [Chorus] I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I earned this, I lived this I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I came up, I hit this I play with the big kids [Bridge] Last one picked Now I'm first in line Sweat on the tee Now it's my time No more bench No more wait I step right up And I don't break [Chorus] I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I earned this, I lived this I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I play with the big kids I came up, I hit this I play with the big kids
