A funny, up-tempo grabber about the perils of online dating. Lisa Jackert plays excellent violin on this one.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Right off the Bat – she rolled like thunder
Her Big, Black Harley spitting fire on the street
She threw away my roses – her hug broke some ribs
I figured that her least favorite word was “sweet”

Right off the Bat – She told me her story
A Knife stab, Rehab, a nasty little cough
A jealous ex-husband just getting out of jail
I quickly found the door and took off

Verse 2:
Right off the Bat – She lost me there somewhere
Her New Age crystals and her horoscope woes
She’d gone total vegan – except for the cheesecake
She only wore sandals and patchouli oil clothes

Right off the Bat – I said “You seem natural”
I meant it as a compliment – she started to cry
She told me I was soulless – I told her I was sorry
To this day – I don’t know why

Break 1:
Right off the Bat – This online dating
Right off the Bat – You get what you get
Right off the Bat – There’s no way of knowing
Right off the Bat – It sure hasn’t worked out yet

Verse 3:
Well, Right off the Bat – We felt the connection
We talked and we laughed for hours on end
There wasn’t any posing – there wasn’t any pressure
A wonderful person and a beautiful friend

Right off the Bat – It really is something
The Universe will tell you where you need to go
You gotta say yes to the love that’s coming
It feels like we already know

Break 2:
Right off the Bat – This online dating
Right off the Bat – No one has a clue
Right off the Bat – Sometimes you get lucky
Right off the Bat - She really is a dream come true

Yeah - Right off the Bat (repeat)
