This is my baseball cap, I got it from my dad

This is my baseball cap; it's blue, white, and red

This is my baseball cap, I got it when I was ten

I wore it all the time, back then

This is my baseball cap, I wore it at eleven

I wore it when we won, fourteen to seven

This is my baseball cap, I wore it at twelve

I wore it with my friends, laughing at ourselves

This is my baseball cap, I wore it at one and three

I wore it as I climbed grandpa's apple tree

This is my baseball cap, I wore it at one and four

I wore it while I worked at the grocery store

This is my baseball cap, I wore it at one and five

I wore it every day, when I was still alive

This is my baseball cap, I wear it as I'm dead

I wore it when I put the bullet through my head.
