Gene Moore

He was a baseball prodigy. At the age of fifteen, Gene Moore was a boy, playing like a man, in a game where men, play like boys.

Headed for baseball stardom with the Brooklyn Dodgers, his destiny was interrupted by
Pearl Harbor.
His life... and
maybe our
national
pastime...
would be
forever altered.

Verse 1
I don’t know where I’m going, can’t remember where I’ve been
Seen a lot of things, I don’t care to see again
Lord I only wish I knew, who to call a friend

Chorus
I may be down, but I ain’t out
I got three strikes, but I’m not gone
I may be down, but I ain’t out
I’ll get up again before I’m done

Verse 2
Life’s a funny thing, with all its twists and turns
Momma always told me, play with fire you’ll get burned
That’s a lesson that I’m sure I never learned

Verse 3
You see you never know what God has got in store
Even though I dreamed and prayed for what I thought was so much more
Now I realize, I got more than I asked for

Additional or optional verse
It’s true what goes around, comes around some day
The world is always changing, home seems so far away
What don’t kill you makes you stronger they say
