about
A PIECE OF THE GAME is the theme song I wrote for the new sports memorabilia related TV show of the same title. The chorus is the section heard at the beginning and end of each episode, and an instrumental version of the track is used as well.
lyrics
In a closet filled with clothes and shoes I found a treasure long thought lost,
A ball with the signature of a legend
I couldn't buy that at any cost
Got a piece of the game, oh what a day
I hold it and feel that fire
A piece of the game, man did they play
Nothing could've lifted us higher
The dirt from the field under the name
Leather, sweat. memories that don't fade
Greatness was saved, a piece of the game
An unbelievable find ,almost forgotten by time
A gift for a new generation
A jersey or hat, helmet or bat
From players that inspired the nation
Got a piece of the game, oh what a day
I hold it and feel that fire
A piece of the game, man did they play
Nothing could've lifted us higher
The dirt from the field under the name
Leather, sweat. memories that don't fade
Greatness was saved, a piece of the game
A hero's rookie card, what is it worth?
Remembering the child is wealth for the heart
The value of inspiration is hard to overlook
One of a kind, from a favorite star
Tugs at my heart
thinking of the prize in my hand
Gave their all, win or lose
for the team and for the fans
I got a piece of the game, oh what a day
I hold it and feel that fire
A piece of the game, man did they play
Nothing could've lifted us higher
The dirt from the field under the name
Leather, sweat. memories that don't fade
Greatness was saved, a piece of the game
Greatness was saved, a piece of the game
