Striking Out With You
02:59
|
|||
|
I guess I should've given it more time
I thought I could see the hit and run sign
I should've seen a change up coming my way
I thought that my future looked just fine
I saw myself running down the baseline
I guess that home's where I'll always stay
Cause now I'm gonna strike out
I'll just swing away
I shouldn't even play
Though a hit is overdue
I know I'll be striking with you
And I can't blame the ump
I just can't break my slump
Just another pitch or two
I know I'll be striking with you
Now the ump is sweeping up the tears
I cried when you looked right into my eyes
And told me that our love was a swing and a miss
I swear that I could've seen you balk
How could you intentionally walk
Out on me at a time like this?
Now I'm gonna strike out
I couldn't even bunt
This isn't what I want
My plans gone askew
I know I'll be striking with you
I'm no good in a pinch
I'll be back on the bench
It breaks my heart in two
I know I'll be striking with you
When I start swinging it feels so good
I'd hit homers if I just could
But I don’t ever see anything in the zone
When it comes to you
So I'm gonna strike out
I'll hang my head in shame
I'll never when the game
No matter what I do
I know I'll be striking with you
I'll let my teammates down
I couldn't face them now
My heart is 0-and-2
I know I'll be striking with you

Hey Homer Bailey, you're getting paid a lot
Your ERA is high, but your win total is not
Mrs. Bailey's boy, standing on the mound
Thinks he's Nolan Ryan, but he's really Charlie Brown
We're gonna homer off of Homer Bailey now
Remember last time you came to our city?
You were in the shower by the end of inning three
If I liked your team, I think I'd wanna cry
And I could give you like 100 million reasons why

Somebody put something in my Gatorade
This is the worst game that I've ever played
I can't even see the ball
I just let that pop up fall
Somebody put something in my Gatorade
Somebody put something in my Gatorade
I can feel my energy just start to fade
I feel like I've been sniffing glue
I don't know what I should do
Somebody put something in my Gatorade
Well my knees, they were shaking
My curve, it wasn't breaking
That's what made me think
There was something in my drink
Now I'm feeling funny
Just like it's all a dream
It must've been somebody from the other team

Davey Got Drafted
03:23
|
|||
|
We spent the season just making plans, wishing, and hoping
About being in the show together, playing up in Boston or Oakland
When the scouts came around, they'd always watch us play
Davey would blow their minds, and I was just OK
That's why Davey, Davey got drafted
He'll be leaving town
I wish we could stay on the same team somehow
But he got drafted now
I remember just last year, when I was struggling to get time on JV
But this year I played varsity and batted second just ahead of Davey
But he'll be leaving soon to go play rookie ball
And I'll be staying here, working at the mall
And I know one day I'll be leaving
I'm taking classes in the evening
I'm saving up so I can move somewhere
Because I know there's something else for me out there
The MLB took Davey from me...

At The Summer Olympics
02:22
|
|||
|
We're going down to Rio, and I tell you what we're gonna do
We're gonna bring the gold home for the red, white, and blue
I trained for years in North Dakota
I've never had a soda
But I'm gonna spend my summer at the Summer Olympics
I've waited all my life just to get up on that podium
I wanna see my gold medal shine in the Rio sun
I never got to sleep late
But my trial time was so great
And I'm gonna spend my summer at the Summer Olympics
When he jumps, we're gonna jump higher
When she runs, we're gonna run past her
When the race goes down to the wire
We'll go faster
At the Summer Olympics
We'll see you when we get back
And then I'll have my first Big Mac
But I'm gonna spend my summer at the Summer Olympics

If He Hits One Here
02:25
|
|||
|
For eight years we had the worst team in the division
We couldn't pitch or hit, we couldn't field a ground ball
We've been waiting, anticipating a long time
Now it's happened, Ricky's batting with the whole season on the line
And if he hits one here
Then we'll be playing in the Fall this year
He'll cross the plate and watch the fans all cheer
We're gonna finish on top
We used to get pushed around by the Braves and the Cardinals
They'd come into our town and make our field their own
We've been waiting, anticipating a long time
Now it's happened, Ricky's batting with the whole season on the line
And if the stars align
We'll show the fans that it's our time
We'll party like the Mets of '69
And we ain't ever gonna stop

It's Rizzo
01:58
|
|||
|
I know the guy who can take us all the way, it's Rizzo
Hit it to the right side, he's gonna make a play, it's Rizzo
He'll dive into the stands, you know he doesn't care
15th row, it doesn't matter, he can catch it anywhere
It's Rizzo, yeah
He'll lean over the plate, you can try to pitch inside, it's Rizzo
But make a mistake, and he'll take it for a ride, it's Rizzo
He leads the league in hit by pitches, he's never scared
He tried to fight the whole Reds roster, so throw it at him if you dare
It's Rizzo, yeah
He hits the ball from Wrigley all the way to Lincoln Square
The best first baseman in the league, nobody can compare
It's Rizzo, yeah

Hey Coach, Put Robbie In
01:38
|
|||
|
Hey Coach, put Robbie in
I don't think you realize
He's been practicing
His grounders and his flies
And it's not like Kenny's better
I know his dad's your friend
But if you wanna win
You better put Robbie in
Hey Coach, put Robbie in
This isn't little league
He's worked hard all year
Just to make varsity
I know you've never won against East Central
They're in the state's Top Ten
And you'll lose again
Unless you put Robbie in
If you wanna win
You better put Robbie in
Why won't you put Robbie in?

We're in the bottom of the 7th inning
The game is tied at three apiece
If we could a hit, we would be winning
The victory is well in reach
But with one out and two men on base
As Gary steps up to the plate
This inning will be ending soon
No matter what we do, no matter what we say
Gary's gonna hit into a double play
He'll get a take sign, and he still will swing away
Gary's gonna hit into a double play
Remember that one time up in Milwaukee?
We really thought we'd get a win
Joe got a hit, and then Ramirez walked me
But it was Gary's turn again
He hit a ground ball soft and slow
The shortstop made an easy throw
They turned two, and Gary never left the plate
If he would sacrifice, well Hell might freeze that day
Cause Gary's gonna hit into a double play
If there's a man on base and less than two away
Gary's gonna hit into a double play

When It Was Summer
02:07
|

When it was summer, we did just what we wanted
We stayed up so late
My nights and mornings were all mine
When it was summertime
When it was summer, we spent our days just driving
Straight up the East Coast
New England weather felt just fine
When it was summertime
When it was summer, we played records every day
Sunflower, Friends, and
Pet Sounds, Shut Down, Today
We had no worries in our minds
We had no cares cause it was summer, summertime

I've got records, but the best one's
Revenge is Sweet, and So Are You, it is
And though I'd like to ask him lots of questions
I don't know where Dr. Frank Lives
We could take a trip to California
Knock on every door 'til we find his
We might lucky, but I gotta warn ya
I don't know where Dr. Frank Lives
Yeah, I know he's out there
We'll take BART and find him somewhere
We'll check every stop and station
We're big fans, he'd understand
Maybe we'll start a band
Called Conflagration Sensation
We'll bring along our collection
Of Schoolhouse Rock! and Love Connection
We might watch some episodes together
If we could find him, I bet we
Would be approximately
Best friends forever and ever
We could search until the summer's over
We'll follow any lead anyone gives
But our days are numbered, and then like I told ya
I don't know where Dr. Frank Lives

Muffins For Breakfast
00:51
|
|||
|
My friend Wayne, he came to America last summer
But now it all seems so far away
He finds himself California dreaming
Now that the weather's cold and gray
He remembers taking the kids to Disney
And going to the bay
Watching his first baseball game
When he saw the Dodgers play
And he had 20 different hotel rooms throughout his stay
And he ate muffins for breakfast every day

Crystal Lake
01:51
|

I know sometimes it feels like life can get you down
Let's pack our bags and hit the road, get out of town
I found a little place where we can just escape
I'm gonna take my girl to Crystal Lake
Sometimes the city life makes you wanna run away
We need some peace and quiet, we could leave today
It would be all we imagined, it would be so great
When I take my girl to Crystal Lake
She said she wanted to go somewhere romantic
Where we could be alone without a care
I know she's been so stressed, depressed, and frantic
I found a little place, I'm sure there's nobody there
It feels like life is killing us, and we need a break
I'm gonna take my girl to Crystal Lake

I Can't Stay Up All Nite
02:40
|
|||
|
You aren't looking so great
I know you're staying up late
You're barely sleeping every night
You say dreaming makes you so scared
Some guy named Freddy's in there
But I wanna make you feel all right
So if you need me, well I'll be there when you call
Just tell me what you need, and I can do it all
And I'll say don't worry baby
I'll do anything I can do
But I can't stay up night for you
I can keep the coffee brewing
I'll do anything else worth doing
But I can't stay up night
I know you're staying awake
And I'd stay up too for your sake
He's in your dreams and makes you cry
But when it gets close to midnight
My eyes start closing so tight
I couldn't stay up if I tried
So if there's anything else I can do to show
That I'll be here for you, then please just let me know
And I'll say don't worry baby
I'll do anything I can do
But I can't stay up night for you
I can keep the records playing
Record everything you're saying
But I can't stay up night for you
Don't worry baby
I swear my heart is true
But I can't stay up night for you
I can keep the coffee brewing
I'll do anything else worth doing
But I can't stay up night for you

Trick 'R Treat
02:56
|
|||
|
Don't wanna scare you with the things I say
But you know it's true
There's lots of rules that you have to follow now
Though it's your favorite day of the year
I can't be with you
You know I would if I could be there somehow
But it's Halloween
And you know what that means
Though Sam might like to hide
He'll be right by your side
When you trick or treat
No matter where you go
You better follow the rules
Or Sam's gonna get you
When you trick or treat
No matter what you do
You better follow the rules
Or Sam's gonna get you tonight
But it's Halloween
And you know what that means
Be careful what you do
Cause Sam is watching you

Haddonfield Memorial
02:27
|
|||
|
I'd go out camping at Crystal Lake at midnight
I'd walk down Elm Street without even a flashlight
I won't back down from a challenge
But there's one thing I'm telling you
I'd never do
I don't wanna go to Haddonfield Memorial
I'd take a swamp boat right to Victor Crowley's front door
Yeah I'd say "Candyman" four times, and then I'd say it once more
I know I don't scare easy
But there's one thing I'd never try
Cause I don't wanna die

Teddy don't you know we never meant to kill your dad
Teddy don't you know we really feel so bad
Don't wanna die, I'm not ready
Don't kill me Teddy
I know Clay can be a jerk when he's drinking
I should've stayed at home, don't know what I was thinking
But I don't wanna be buried
Don't kill me Teddy
I'd like to live to see another day
So put the stick away
And don't kill me Teddy
I just wanted to relax for the weekend
Hang out with my sister and our two friends
But now I'm running and I'm sweaty
Don't kill me Teddy
It's just revenge, we have to pay
But put the shovel away
And don't kill me Teddy
I'd like to give you my side if I may
So put the hatchet away
And don't kill me Teddy

Jamie Lee, you're always on my screen
On every Halloween
It's nothing new
And Jamie Lee, I'd read you poetry
And I would totally
Always be true
Jamie Lee, he's everywhere you go
He always seems to know
Everything you do
But Jamie Lee, you're gonna stay alive
Though your friends won't survive
You'll make it through
And I'd give anything to prove
That I'm the one you're looking for
I'm cooler than Ben Tramer
And I write songs too
So Jamie Lee, I'm coming all the way
To Haddonfield to be the one who saves you
