Song Description

Fun, upbeat song using baseball as a metaphor for relationshis. Flirtatious song between girl and guy. Guy gives it his best shot but falls short and gets turned down. Really upbeat, great music and fun lyrics.

Lyrics

WELL I WAS IN THE FIELD
WITH THE BASES FULL
WHEN SHE CAUGHT ME
IN THE WINK OF AN EYE

I WAS STEALIN’ HOME
RIGHT FROM UNDER HER NOSE
WHEN THE CATCHER WAVED HER A SIGN

AS IF A WARNIN’ HER ABOUT MY CHEATIN’ WAYS LIKE HER MOMMA SAYIN,'
“THAT BOY AIN’T NO DAMN GOOD!
MIGHT AS WELL KNOCK THAT FOOL
RIGHT OUT OF HIS SOCKS
HE AIN’T PLAYIN’ THE GAME LIKE HE SHOULD”

I GOT A PITCH OR TWO THAT’LL WIN SOME HEARTS
WE’RE PLAYIN’ BIG LEAGUE
UNDER THE LIGHTS
I DON’T NEED TO BALK
I DON’T LIKE TO TALK
CAUSE I KNOW WHAT I’M FEELIN’ TONIGHT

WELL I CAUGHT YOU NOW IN A LIE OR TWO
AND SOMEHOW SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT
BATTER UP MR. HOME-RUN KING
GUESS WHO’S PITCHIN’ SOUTH PAW TONIGHT?

BASEBALL GOSPEL
I AIN’T PREACHIN’ I’M PLAYIN’ TO WIN
BASEBALL GOSPEL
BEELZAHBUB COMMITED A SIN
BASEBALL GOSPEL
YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU CAN TO SURVIVE
BASEBALL GOSPEL
IT’S JUST LIKE THE GAME OF LIFE

WELL MY CURVES WERE HOT
AND I WAS LOOKIN’ GOOD
WHEN YOU STEPPED TO THE PLATE FOR YOUR BAT

I WAS TWO MEN OUT
AND I WAS TWO STRIKES DOWN
THE STATS JUST WEREN’T WHERE IT’S AT

I THREW MY SLIDER INSIDE
YOU SWUNG ANYWAY
I PRAYED, “LORD LET THAT BALL GO OUT FOUL”

IT’S A SILLY GAME WE PEOPLE PLAY
AND I’M GONNA GET A TROPHY SOMEHOW

BASEBALL GOSPEL
I AIN’T PREACHIN’ I’M PLAYIN’ TO WIN
BASEBALL GOSPEL
BEELZAHBUB COMMITED A SIN

BASEBALL GOSPEL
YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU CAN TO SURVIVE
BASEBALL GOSPEL
IT’S JUST LIKE THE GAME OF LIFE

STRIKE ONE
YEAH YOU’RE GETTIN CLOSE
BUT YOUR ‘SWINGIN’ JUST AIN’T WHERE IT’S AT

STRIKE TWO
BETTER MAKE IT COUNT
‘CAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT GET ANOTHER “AT BAT”
AND HERE’S A CURVE OR TWO JUST TO MESS YOU UP
‘CAUSE I FIGURED WHAT YOU’RE ALL ABOUT

STRIKE THREE
LOOK OUT!
COMIN’ DOWN THE PIKE
YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH, YOU’RE OUT!!!!!

STRIKE THREE
LOOK OUT!
COMIN’ DOWN THE PIKE
YOU SON-OF-A, SON-OF-A, SON-OF-A, SON-OF-A
YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH, YOU’RE OUT!!!!!
