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 Jones's

But as fate would have it, that Atlanta magic

Got put out by them damn Padres

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 3x5 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

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 3x5 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

We'd have been the '98 Braves

98 Braves

You win some, you lose some, it ain't always home runs

Girl, it could've 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
