Still in the Game

Hangin' down at the local sports bar
The gangs all here and we're trying to catch a score
Hot wings on my left and a beer in my right
Baseball and nothin' more
Well it was all tied up and that's no lie
I missed the entire game
Well she was hotter than my wings smoother than my beer
And I had to catch her name

Well she was wearing a shirt that said Go Team
A painted-on pair of tight blue jeans
Long brown hair under a baseball hat
Gold earrings shaped like a bat
Some people say that love takes time
Well I have to disagree
When it came to baseball and this certain girl
It only took an inning for me

Suddenly I couldn't breathe
Feelin' kinda fatigued
Scouting an all-star player
From the female major leagues

Well I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

A buddy of mine was standin' on deck
We all wished him luck
Like Babe Ruth tryin' to call his shot
He tried to pick her up
My pal was tough
He was a fast ball hitter
And he had steel nerves
But he struck out faster than Casey at Bat
Cause he couldn't handle her curves

Suddenly I couldn't breathe
Feelin' kinda fatigued
Scouting an all-star player
From the female major leagues

Well I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

Guy got off the bench by the bar
Tryin' to get a pinch hit
Well first he pinched
And then she hit
And boy I gotta tell ya that was it

Well I finished my beer
And I got up my nerve
And walked over to ask her name
She said I was cute
But didn't have the time
She was trying to watch the game

Well I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

Well I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game
Yes the home team scored
And She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

The game was over I was walkin' out
With a couple of friends of mine
Well there was this guy he was lookin' at me
Here comes another pickup line

Baby don't leave without me
Well I'm a real fan I'll make ya see
I'll take you to the game club seats too
A season ticket baby to see you

I was hangin' out tryin' to watch a game
But all these guys tried to get my name
Don't they understand that I'm a real fan
I'm not in this bar tryin' to find a man

Well I'm just trying to play it cool
I know what you want and I ain't no fool
Come on baby I'm okay
Then stop lookin at me like some entrée

I was hangin' out tryin' to watch a game
But all these guys tried to get my name
Don't they understand that I'm a real fan
I'm not in this bar tryin' to find a man

Well baby this means I'm still in the game
But you don't even know my name
You were busy cause the game was hot
Now we're standing in the parking-lot

Okay it's Holly later

Well I finally got her name
And man she was hot
But I never got her number
It's something I forgot
Looks like I've got to work
On my communication
Cause I'm seven digits short
On vital information

You see I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

See I didn't hit a homerun
I didn't get to first base
I didn't even catch her name
Cause when the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game

Yes the home team scored
She winked at me
Which means I'm still in the game
