lyrics

I got my batting average up I got the scouts out to watch
Tuesday night in Fayetteville and I turn it up a notch
I met her outside on the bus and we went out on the town
I didn’t think to get nervous 'til her and I shut that first bar down

I kept it moving forward we were a few games back
I knew I’d get my break if I kept my mind on track
But she followed us around and I knew I was in trouble then
I thought I’ll just weather this storm until the stormy season ends

But before I knew it she was all that mattered
She brought me up to another league
The lights would down and the crowd would scatter
Then her and I would start playing for keeps

Well when I woke up she’s at the foot of the bed
There’s this guy behind and he wants to make a deal she said
Then he handed me my cap and it was all stuffed with bills
She looked at him and he smiled and my blood just chilled

But before I knew it she was all that mattered
She brought me up to another league
The lights would down and the crowd would scatter
Then her and I would start playing for keeps

It was a Sunday game I’m batting number two
I see ‘em there in the crowd know what they want me to do
But then I saw him take her hand I just took offense…

So I stepped outta the box
I climbed into the stands
They saw me coming
They raised their hands
When opportunity comes
You gotta take your breaks
There’s only so many pitches
That a guy can take…

And I start swinging for the fence
