Homerun man lyrics

[kelvin]

Hello,
I just got back from a festival and I heard a Jimmy Martin tune called Homerun Man. I have been trying to find the lyrics but so far no go. Does anyone have a link to the lyrics to that song

[Jean Fugal]

HOME RUN MAN [B] trio medium
Jimmy Martin & Buck White fast
Universal Champion Music BMI pushy
arr Jimmy Martin 1960/1994 bounce

Half Break: banjo – lead solo on verses

Chorus:

Two strikes against me before I even start
I swung twice but I missed, I'm going to win your heart
You're doing all the pitching
And the game is in your hand
I'm going to make a home run—play the pitches if I can

I've been sitting on the sideline in your crazy game of love
And the curves that you've thrown me just won't fit my glove
You're a big league pitcher when you take your stand
But there's one thing you don't know, honey, I'm a home run man

Chorus
Break(CH): banjo/fiddle

You lead the league in broken hearts, a prize you'd love to claim
But I know lots of good old boys has tried to change your name
But I been chose to pinch hit, you're going to understand
That in your crazy game of love I'm a home run man

Chorus

TAG: all hard STOP





NOTE: Jimmy Martin and his Sunny Mountain Boys released this song first on a 45 rpm single for Decca Records in October 1966 and then for their 1968 Decca Records album Tennessee.
