Lyrics

Lurleen:

Oh, the bases were empty

On the diamond of my heart

When the coach called me up to the plate.

I've been swingin' and missin'

And lovin' and kissin'

My average was point double eight.

So I spit on my hands,

Knockin' dirt from my spikes,

And pointed right toward centerfield,

This time, I'm hittin' a home run,

This time, love is for real.

I'll slide, I'll steal, I'll sacrifice,

A lovin' fly for you,

I've been slumpin' off season,

But now, I found a reason

I've struck on a love that is true.

I used to play the field,

I used to be a roamer.

But season's turnin' round for me now.

I finally bagged me a homer!

That's right.

I finally bagged me a homer!

Sound booth guy:

Uh, Lurleen, we're gonna hafta cut you off. We're gettin' some kinda grindin' noise on the track.
