Story Behind The Song
Thought about a guy sitting in a bar while a baseball game drones on over a TV in the background. As he sits there nursing a beer he starts commiserating over an old flame. His thoughts about their break-up begin to blend with the game's play-by-play using baseball terminology from the game to uniquely describe their break-up.

Lyrics
Sitting here watching the old fall classic sipping ice cold beer
She hadn't even crossed my mind in over a year
Suddenly I start to cry and I wonder why
I'm still missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
There's a full count on the batter with runners at first and third
I got caught in a double play that really threw me a curve
She never even said good-bye and I wonder why
I'm still missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Who ever said it's how you play not whether you win or lose
Was never hit in the heart by a pitch and suffered an ego bruise
When I needed a home run she took a walk instead
Now every day there's a rain delay in the game she plays in my head
I just can't seem to let her slide and I wonder why
I'm still missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Three up, three down in the bottom of the ninth, the home team lost the game
She's long gone and I'm alone, that ain't ever gonna change
I'll never get another try and I wonder why
I'm still missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
I'm still missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
I can't stop missing her AFTER ALL THIS TIME
