LYRICS:
Pete chalks the ballfields down at Dennis Linde park
Turns the sprinklers on at sun-up and the lights on after dark
If you got time to talk, he’ll give you his two cents
The grass is always greener on his side of the fence
Yeah

He lost his wife to cancer and a thumb in Vietnam
Jokes he used to be a hitchhiker but not for very long
He runs off the gophers in a golf cart full of dents
And the grass is always greener cause he makes sure it is
Yeah

Says you’re old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day you wake up’s a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win ‘cause you can’t win ‘em all
Go to church, love your mama
And play ball

I broke into concessions once, but he didn’t call the cops
He just made me clean the grease traps and replace the bubble pops
That’s the spring that daddy left, he knew I was actin’ out
And when I hit my first homerun, he took me to Golden Corral
Yeah

Says you’re old as you feel, and I feel 35
And any day you wake up’s a damn good day to be alive
Soak it in when you win ‘cause you can’t win ‘em all
Go to church, love your mama
And play ball

Someone to put the time in or fill an empty seat
The world would be a better place if we all had a Pete


GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know.
