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 An' then I gave her a kiss on her front porch swing An' she thought it was funny When I said: "Someday I'm gonna buy you a ring."

If it takes everything I got My life just don't make sense If I ain't swingin' for the fence. --- Instrumental --- Home game, minor league She up in the stands, still pulling for me The bunt sign: a man on third I'm looking for that inside curve But he came hard with his fast ball An' last time I saw, it was heading out Over center-field wall, yeah.
