Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the brave and land of the |
|
free" |
|
You've had twenty wins and one save, now you're up |
|
against me |
|
How can I keep control of my nerves? The way you |
|
wind-up when you |
|
Throw me those curves? |
|
I hear him yell, "strike," and it's a good call |
|
It's so hard to keep my eyes on the ball |
|
On the baseball |
|
Love is just like baseball |
|
All it is is baseball |
|
Love is just like baseball |
|
You have played with me like a pawn |
|
For most of the night |
|
How'd you get your uniform on |
|
So perfectly tight? |
|
You struck me out twice |
|
I singled but died |
|
Then you made me pop up |
|
By sneakin' inside |
|
I'm gonna change that sneer to respect |
|
Make your eyes open wide |
|
When you feel me connect to the baseball |
|
Here I am behind in the ninth |
|
The count's 3 and 2 |
|
End the game like Beethoven's |
|
NINTH |
|
Is what I must do |
|
So now that we're here |
|
Alone in the dark |
|
I'm gonna send this |
|
Right out of the park |
|
If I was you I'd leave it alone |
|
'Cause I'm tearin' 'round third |
|
Slidin' towards home |
