?STEP UP TO THE PLATE THIS TIME? by Gerald Jennings/Clay Lee
FIRST TIME THAT I SAW HER, SHE WAS STANDING ON THE CORNER
WAITIN? FOR THE BUS TO ARRIVE.
LONG BLACK HAIR, BLOWIN? IN THE AIR
MAN SHE MADE ME FEEL SO ALIVE.
SHE WAS GOING TO ARIZONA, MAYBE ON TO CALIFORNIA
SHE REALLY HADN?T MADE UP HER MIND.
THAT?S WHEN I STARTED THINKIN? THAT MY HEART WOULD BE A BREAKIN?
IF THIS OLE BOY DON?T THROW HER A LINE.
I GUESS I?D BETTER GET MOVIN? CAUSE THE GIRL?S GOT A TICKET TO RIDE.
I STARTED WALKIN? OVER, THEN I LOOKED OVER MY SHOULDER
BILL AND ROY WERE WAVIN? ME DOWN.
WELL IT?S JUST MY LUCK, I WISHED THEY?D GET BACK IN THE TRUCK,
I?LL GET NOWHERE WITH THESE GUYS AROUND.
HER BUS WAS RUNNING LATE, AND SHE WAS HEADED FOR THE GATE.
WALKIN? THIS WAY FLASHIN? A SMILE.
THAT?S WHEN I FIRST COULD SEE, SHE WAS LOOKIN? RIGHT AT ME,
AND BOY DID SHE HAVE SOME KIND OF STYLE.
I GUESS I?D BETTER HOLD STEADY CAUSE THIS BOY?S GOT NOWHERE TO HIDE.
CHORUS:
OOEE; THIS AIN?T NO TIME TO WAIT AND SEE.
IF YOU WANNA PLAY BALL, (YOU) BETTER STEP UP TO THE PLATE THIS TIME.
OOEE; IF YOU KEEP WAITIN? SHE?LL BE HISTORY.
IF YOU WANNA PLAY BALL, (YOU) BETTER STEP UP TO THE PLATE THIS TIME.
OR SHE?LL BE LONG, ONG, ONG, ONG GONE.
I WAS GETTIN? IN THE GROOVE AND I?D THOUGHT ABOUT MY MOVE
JUST AS SHE WAS PASSIN? ME BY.
I HAD A REALLY GOOD LINE, PRACTICED IN MY MIND
YOU KNOW THAT I WAS EAGER TO TRY.
THEN LIKE COPS FROM OUT OF STATE, BILL AND ROY WERE IN MY FACE,
LAUGHIN? HARD, THEY TURNED ME AROUND.
AND ALL THAT I COULD HEAR IS THAT WE?RE HEADED OUT FOR BEER,
SOMEWHERE ON THE EDGE OF THE TOWN.
AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK THAT LITTLE GIRL WAS WAVIN? GOODBYE.
