Country music from the heart of a county boy.
Well folks, catch some new tracks featuring the vocal styling of Mr. Mike Perreria and Mr. David Bell. Yes, a few of these tracks are from the long lost County Line sessions!!! And yes, some of them still have my lack luster vocals on them, but I'm working to remedy that part. Note that almost all (except 1) of the tracks are new. Very soon I'll be unveiling my next "album." I'll put the tracks up with the scratch vocals, and will work at finding some suitable voices.

Lyrics
Two on Two down in the ninth We were down to our last at bat Didn’t know what was coming, took the last one high Stepped out and fixed my hat A hangin curve sure would be nice A change would seal my fate He threw from the stretch and to my surprise He left it out over the plate Chorus: I wanna hear the crack of the bat I wanna see the hit and run I wanna hear a called strike three I wanna see the hits at none I wanna smell the fresh cut grass In the middle of the summer time I wanna hear the roar of the crowd In the bottom of the ninth I cried when they the Series away Back in the fall of ‘94 The game had lost all it had gained Marred for ever more They say it’s a business now, not a game For that I guess they’re right I don’t understand why grown men won’t play They’d rather stand and fight I guess I’ll go on and throw my fast ball The one that ain’t that fast I don’t care if we finish first Don’t care if we finish last I’ll just go on and play For the love of the game I’m not gonna make a dime Don’t care but fortune and fame
