Knock It Out of the Park - Sam & Dave, The Dixie Flyers, Dave Prater

We were raised in a bad neighbourhood

Yes, we were

I got stabbed and love

Didn’t look so good, no

Sister Johnson lived two blocks away

Did I tell ya?

Gave me some advice the other day

What did she say?

She said, Sam

You’re just like a ball

You gotta break it hard

Protect it from harm

You got to make the rest-up

When you hit the ball

Knock it out of the park, mmmmm

Cause a single will put you

In the dark now

When you swing, swing, swing

For the pitcher, Lord

Hitting in a double play

Just don’t make no sense

Love her like a baseball game

I been told, tell 'em son

You don’t win by getting on the base

Honey, you got to make the score, good God

You might put another man up

But you got to go to bat, yeah

Don’t you try to swing for a single

She won’t go for that

Hey, hey

Make sure you don’t be fakin'

When you say you gonna quit her

Yeah, yeah

You might know your very next friend

Might be her pinch hitter

Yeah, yeah, oh, Lord

Might be her pinch hitter

Baby, yeah

Darling your kisses

Have got to have that spark

And when you do your lovin' baby

You got to knock it out of the park

Look, when you swing, swing

Swing for the pitcher

Putting in a double play y’all

Just don’t make no sense, good God

Hit it, knock it out of the park

Hit it, love her like a baseball game

My, my, my, my baby

You might not know about it all

Hit it, got to knock it out of the park

My, my, my baby

You got to play to win y’all

Hit the ball

Got to make the score, yeah

Hit it, knock it out of the park

Get a hold on

Knock it out of the park

Hit it…
