Lyrics
Fade the Ball (Like Lee Trevino)
Chorus: I wanna fade the ball like Lee Trevino
Putt like Tiger Woods
Hit a one iron, Just like Jack
I really wish I could
Win 'em all like Bobby Jones
Hit a flop shot like Phil
I know I could make the PGA Tour
Know he could make the PGA Tour
I know I could make the PGA Tour
If he only had the skill
Work was everyone at me, and it left me in a funk
So I pulled into the Course parking lot, and opened up my trunk
I reached in, pulled my golf clubs out, and checked in with the Pro
And headed to the first tee, gave that ball a mighty blow
(Chorus)
***SOLO***
Bridge: Golf is the greatest social game that there is
When you're out there with your friends...you win
Golf is the greatest social game that there is
When you're out enjoying nature...you win
Golf is the greatest social game that there is
When you're out there getting excercise,
Not a rat, on a treadmill blind
Leaving all that stress behind...you win
Grass, trees and your Buddies, A number is the quest
It's only you against the Course, there is no better test
But don't you get ahead of yourself, it's one shot at a time
And if you do it right, around the green, you can score past your prime
(Chorus)
