Home game, little league,
Bottom of the ninth: it was up to me.
The bunt sign: a man on third;
Tie the game, Coach? That's absurd.
I made my mind up at the plate,
"If I see that fast ball,
"Well, I just might have to swing away."

Big deal, so what?
I had to take that home run cut.
My life just don't make sense,
If I ain't swingin' for the fence.

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."

Big deal, so what?
If it takes everything I got.
My life just don't make sense,
If I ain't swingin' for the fence.

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.

Big deal, so what?
Now they want to pay me a million bucks.
My life just don't make sense,
If I ain't swingin' for the...

Big deal, so what?
I had to take that home run cut.
My life just don't make sense,
If I ain't swingin' for the fence.

Swinging for the fence.
Swinging for the fence.
Cold Beer!
Hot dogs!
