He wakes up Sunday
In Tennessee and hits the alarm clock
He cleans his cleats, ha makes some pancakes for the girls
His husband drives him to the airport where the plane is waiting
"This is your captain speaking, 
welcome to our 11 AM flight MEM to the Underworld."

He steps up to the plate and checks the bases
Zion's on second
The Iron Lion ready to go, all speed and chrome
And right before the pitch is expelled,
He just can't help but think to himself
"It sure would be a shame if no-one brought her home."

And in the TV, they don't even say his name
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
He ain't here for his health, and it sure as hell ain't for fame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game

It's the bottom of the eleventh
With two men on and two men out, we're tied up
The fans are screaming, this is awful, this is great
We're begging, Randy
All we need is you to hit a single
And Randy C just laughs and says, "It's up to fate."

And in the papers, they don't print who scored the shame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
He ain't here for his health, and it sure as hell ain't for fame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game

The team's all left, he hits the lights on his way out the lockers
The press is snapping pics while Aldon Cashy flaunts it
And when he walks on by, not one reporter stops to talk to him
And Randy smiles 'cause that's just the way he wants it

'Cause his family's cheering and the fans all do the same
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
Nobody sung about him 'til this song we're playing
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
