Lyrics

Early in the morning, there's no better place to be
Staring at a sea of green, standing on that first tee
I left in a hurry, and I left some things unsaid
We'll talk it over later, I gotta go clear my head
Sometimes I feel I'm not the man she wants me to be
Staring down at that little white ball, it occurred to me

You better slow down, better loosen your grip
You better dig in, or you might slip
You better take aim and concentrate
You better stay focused, keep your head in the game
You better not close your eyes and swing with all your might
Sometimes I think golf is a little like life

Now I'm a few shots back, I gotta make this one count
I get a little nervous as I feel the pressure mount
In the middle of my backswing, my cell phone starts to ring
I said I'll have to call you later, and I love you too babe
I hang up the phone and give it my best try
Watching that little white ball hit the green with a smile

Now I slowed down, I loosened my grip
Now I dug in, I did not slip
Now I took aim, I didn't hesitate
I stayed focused, kept my head in the game
Now I didn't close my eyes and swing with all my might
Sometimes I think golf is a little like life

Now the game is over, we're heading for the 19th hole
I said I'd love to guys won't you let me get that door
we told stories, and we told lies, we hit almost every bar in town well into the night
i was fumblin for my key when she opened up the door
should've seen it comin when she yelled the number four

She slowed down, tightened her grip
She dug in, she did not slip
She took aim, didn't hesitate
She stayed focused, kept her head in the game
She just closed her eyes and swung with all her might

Sometimes I think golf is a little like life

Sometimes I think golf is a little like life
