Swing Lyrics

Desert phase

Another dry spell, he'd been gone

A thousand days

From his country, from his home

Coworker called him

Asked him to take another chance

Hey, I got this new friend

She said, how 'bout you take her out to dance

He hesitated

His heart was done breakin'

Been there, done that, nothing worked before

He'd given it his all

It was safer to withdraw

But the tiger in him was a hitter

The good old rough and tough go-getter whisper

Swing batter, batter, see that ball

Fast as it comin' don't let it fall

Just swing, you got to swing

Might go haywire, might go flat

Might be the greatest hit you had

Just swing, you got to swing

Oh, just swing

Oh, swing like it means the rest of your life

Well, there they were

In a loud and crowded space

Hardly a word

He asked if they could go some other place

Rolled into IHOP

Stayed there till 3 a.m. talking

Next day he called her up

Asked her to have lunch but - still

He hesitated

His heart was done breakin'

Been there, done that, nothing worked before

He'd given it his all

It was safer to withdraw

But the tiger in him was a hitter

The good old rough and tough go-getter whisper

Swing batter, batter, see that ball

Fast as it comin' don't let it fall

Just swing, you got to swing

Might go haywire, might go flat

Might be the greatest hit you had

Just swing, you got to swing

Oh, just swing

Oh, swing like it means the rest of your life

Wedding day

This was it, they'd tie the knot

They had prayed

And this was what they wanted

But so many questions

Will we really see each other through?

What lies ahead of us?

Don't think we need to ask 'cause

You love me, I love you

You got a tiger, I do too, so

Swing batter, batter, see that ball

Fast as it comin' don't let it fall

Just swing, you got to swing

Might go haywire, might go flat

Might be the greatest hit you had

Just swing, you got to swing

Yeah, just swing

Oh, swing like it means the rest of your life

Swing like no such thing as a strike

Swing like this the rest of your life
