Rules of Baseball Songtext
von Nichole Wagner

Well, I stopped trying to find religion
There′s no explaining a mystery
I count the hundred-eight stitches on a ball
Instead of saying a rosary
Maybe we were lonely
Nothing less, nothing more
You know it's not the majors
Let′s stop trying to keep score

And I'd explain the rules of baseball
But we both know you don't care
Add it to the list of all the things we don′t share
Days are getting shorter, the summer is almost through
The most important rule of baseball
There′s no crying when you lose

I can't remember my last confession
But I know it′s been too long
It's one thing not to love you
It′s another to admit it's wrong


It all comes down to timing
Swinging hard, a little late
Throw gasoline on the fire
Or maybe call it fate

And I′d explain the rules of baseball
But we both know you don't care
Add it to the list of all the things we don't share
Days are getting shorter, the summer is almost through
The most important rule of baseball
There′s no crying when you lose

We don′t have to talk about it
Let's go back to chasing dreams
Next time you see me at the plate
You′ll have to take one for the team
But I believe in the Holy Spirit
And the magic of a hanging curveball
Some things don't come easily
And some things don′t come at all


And I'd explain the rules of baseball
But we both know you don′t care
Add it to the list of all the things we don't share
Days are getting shorter, the summer is almost through
The most important rule of baseball
There's no crying when you lose
No crying when you lose
