Story behind the song
My brother Steve and I were sitting in my house one night reminissing about when we were kids.( Steve was still recovering from having a kidney removed as a result of kidney cancer) We loved baseball and so I wrote the song from that conversation.
Lyrics
WHEN IT WAS A GAME (C)2001 Jim Lane & Steve Lane Ev'ry summer mornin' we'd ride our bikes out to the field One by one our friends would come,it still seems so real We played the game for hours or 'til we knocked the cover off the ball Up until September,that's what I recall I tried to pitch like Koufax,Robbie thought he was Babe Ruth He could hit some long ones,wasn't that far from the truth And when Steve stold a base,he'd say "Maury Wills is my name" I can still remember,when it was a game CHORUS When it was a game,we didn't make a million bucks We all played the game for fun,we were baseball nuts Tryin' to catch a fly-ball,like old Will Mays I can still remember,when it was a game My friends have all grown up now,we watch the games on TV Some complain it's not the same with free agency But,when a batter hits the ball and you know he's got the range I can still remember,when it was a game REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Well,I know that things are diff'rent,don't know when they changed But,I can still remember,when it was a game REPEAT CHORUS TAG Tryin' to catch a fly-ball,like old Willy Mays I can still remember,when it was a game
