(Strike one)
Hey baby do you do come here often?
(Strike two)
Hey baby now what's your sign?
(Strike three)
Hold on now where you goin'?
(He is out)
Jimmy's out, next in line
(First Base)
Why yes, I went to Harvard
(Safe)
(Big league)
I majored in pre-med
(He's got a big lead)
(Picked off)
Just stayed for one semester
(It's gonna be cl-, he's out!)
Toms out, who's next?
Everybody strikes out nine times out of ten
But you got to step up to the plate son
‘Cause every now and then
(Fast ball)
She walked right up to me
(Here's the pitch)
Said, “Could I take you home?”
(There's a drive)
(Could be)
Hey boys, I'll see you later
(It could be, it, it is!)
Goin' goin' goin' gone!

"SWING" 2
Written by: Chris Stapleton & Frank Togers
Produced by: Frank Rogers
Performed by: Trace Adkins
First released: 3
Single: 4
Album: August 15, 2006
1 The rapid patter heard in these lines of lyrics are similar to what is
somtimes directed toward a batter by the opposing team, in an attempt to
upset his concentration.
2 "Swing" is a baseball allegory that tells the story, through the pitcher
and the batter, of men and their luck with picking up women. The song
reached #76 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but I don't have the
information for the country charts ranking.
