Lurleen: Oh the bases were empty on the diamond of my heart, When the coach called me up to the plate. I'd been swingin', and missin', and lovin', and kissin', My average was point double eight.
So I spit on my hands, knock the dirt from my spikes, And pointed right toward center field. This time I'm hittin' a home run, This time love is for real.
I'll slide, I'll steal, I'll sacrifice, A lovin' fly for you. I've been slumpin' all season, but now I've found a reason, I struck on a love that is true.
I used to play the field, I used to be a roamer, But the season's turning 'round for me now, I finally bagged me a Homer. That's right, I finally bagged me a Homer.
