Another Swing and a Miss

Another swing and a miss
Another one off the list
Three and you’re out
I’m beginning to doubt
The good of the game

Thought it would help but it hurt
Left me kicking the dirt
Now a smile is a scowl
Thought love was fair, it was foul
And it’s my claim to fame

In the Spring it was grand
He was holding my hand
Summer was a hell of a grind
Now the October wind
Says I’ve lost once again
Maybe next season I’ll find

Another chance to begin
Play for the win
When it’s time to play ball
He’ll knock it over the wall
Instead of just another swing and a miss

In the Spring it was grand
He was holding my hand
Summer was a hell of a grind
Now the October wind
Says I’ve lost once again
Maybe next season I’ll find

Another chance to begin
Play for the win
When it’s time to play ball
He’ll knock it over the wall
In the Spring with a smile and a kiss
Instead of just another swing and a miss
