"Swing For The Fences" lyrics

Elton John & Brandi Carlile Lyrics

"Swing For The Fences"

Go on and swing for the fences
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room

Don't hold your shoulders like a high school dance
A white flag holder in a hopeless romance
Red light kids crossing over the line
Breaking step with the times driving cars through the signs
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And baby, they don't deserve you

Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you

Go on and swing for the fences
Alright
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room

Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And baby, they don't deserve you

Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you

Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
