(Harley Allen)
I watched him take the two strike call
He hadn't tried to swing at all
I guess he'd had all that he could take
He walked away, for goodness sake
His father's voice was loud an' mean
You won't amount to anything

That little boy quit tryin', 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, an' get in
His father never drove again

That old man quit tryin', he just turned away
An' 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
Pledge of allegiance can't be read
An' under God, should not be said
I wonder how much she will take
I just pray it's not too late

What if God quit tryin', 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

Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too, if nobody believed in you
