Lyrics

Bones of the front porch
in a pile in the yard
Souvenirs of the past
easy to discard
Down the street cars on blocks
broken glass and bare feet
Further on,baseball fields
where people we never meet
Fill the summer air
they say

“Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing
“Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing

Makeshift bases in the tiniest of yards
We're just a bunch of kids
easy to discard
Make our own rules, call the shots
foul or fair, strike or not
And we say

Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing
Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing



Swing for the fences, swing to cross the states lines, swing to get out of this town, swing for whatever we can find

Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing
Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter Hey batter batter batter swing
Just swing…
