Lyrics
BATTER UP
Words & Music
Robert Hauver
Copyright 2005
1. I?ve got 2 strikes against me in the bottom of the ninth
The way she throws those curves would make a man go blind
Now she?s starin? me down, right across this plate
And I?m shakin? like a rookie as I go for the bait
CHORUS:
Batter up ? Everybody plays this game
Batter up ? Hopin? they?ll go all the way
Batter up ? So step up to the plate and swing
Who knows, you might even win this thing
2.I?ve been watchin? her strike out man after man
Looks like the only thing I?m hittin? is the showers again
Unless I find a way to put the ball into play
And first base is so far away?
CHORUS
Bridge:
Wait a minute, I just got a base on balls
Time out, She took pity on me after all
Suddenly she?s wild, and the runners advance
I might even make it home, if she gives me the chance
3. Now I?m rounding the bases, and the crowd starts to roar
I?m headin? for home, and I?m ready to score
I?m feelin? like a hero, a man among men
When she shakes me awake, and says, ?You?ve been dreamin? again?!
CHORUS
