I remember sittin’ at that house

Livin’ room couch

Thinkin’ no way them boys wouldn’t win

Between them big three pitchers

Andruw and Chipper

It was gonna be hard to keep up with the Joneses

But as fate would have it

That Atlanta magic got put out by them damn Padres

And I guess destiny ain’t always meant to be

Kinda like you and me that day

We got close, but close doesn’t cut it

Had a good run to end up with nothin’

But a 3×5 that you hide in a drawer

We swung for the fences and came up short

Yeah, you win some, you lose some

It ain’t always home runs

And that’s just the way life plays

If we were a team and love was a game

Then we’d have been the ’98 Braves

Had that whole town believin’

Damn, girl, I even had that talk

To your dad man to man

But just like that season

Girl, you and me didn’t end with a ring on a hand

We got close but close doesn’t cut it

Had a good run to end up with nothin’

But a 3×5 that you hide in a drawer

We swung for the fences and came up short

Yeah, you win some, you lose some

It ain’t always home runs

And that’s just the way life plays

If we were a team and love was a game

Then we’d have been the ’98 Braves

’98 Braves

You win some, you lose some

It ain’t always home runs

Girl, it coulda gone either way

But if we were a team and love was a game

We’d have been the ’98 Braves

If we were a team and love was a game

We’d have been the ’98 Braves

’98 Braves

Oh yeah, girl, we’d have been the ’98 Braves

’98 Braves

We’d have been the ’98 Braves

I remember sittin’ at that house

Livin’ room couch

Thinkin’ no way them boys wouldn’t win
