Swinging For The Fence

Home game, little league Bottom of the 9th, it was up to me The bunt sign, a man on 3rd Tie the game, Coach? That's absurd I made my mind up at the plate, if I see that fast ball Well, I just might have to swing away Big deal, so what I had to take that home run cut My life just don't make sense If I ain't swinging for the fence Home girl, major league Everybody said she's too good for me Prom night, she had a date But I asked her to dance anyway Then I gave her a kiss on her front porch swing Then she thought it was funny When I said, "Someday I'm gonna buy you a ring" Big deal, so what If it takes everything I got My life just don't make sense If I ain't swinging for the fence Home game, minor league She up in the stands still pulling for me The bunt sign, a man on 3rd I'm looking for that inside curve But he came hard with his fast ball, last time I saw It was heading out over center-field wall Yeah, big deal, so what Now they want to pay me a million bucks My life just don't make sense If I ain't swinging for the Big deal, so what I had to take that home run cut My life just don't make sense If I ain't swinging for the fence Swinging for the fence Swinging for the fence Cold beer, hot dogs --- Swinging for the Fence - Billy Dean
