lyrics

Only Game in Town (Darin Barney)

It’s opening day
Let’s swing for the fences
You can tell by his stance
He’s a bit apprehensive
A little something to settle his nerves
For the sidearm delivery of Valentine’s unholy curve

He lost his grip
It slipped through his fingers
And he summoned the gift
Of a minor league ringer
A little flair into the gap
Good for a single, but no more than that

It’s the only game in town
“Hey batter-batter!” let’s move ‘em around
At the end of the summer they'll be shutting her down
It’s the only game in town

Back at the house
His wife gets suspicious
When he kisses her cheek
Or helps with the dishes
Shows up for mass, but he’s always late
Crosses himself like a slugger approachin’ the plate

It’s a beautiful thing
To bare-hand a grounder
But it’s nothing compared
To the light that surrounds her
Sun hanging low out in left field
Stretching his lead, fixing to steal
