Lyrics:

{verse}
E A
Well I took up golf a little late in life.
E A
I got a set of clubs from my sweet wife.
E B7
She said, 'You've been spending too much time at home.
E A
Me and some good old buddies of mine,
E A
heading to the links for the very first time.
E B7 E
And I discovered the greatest sport I've ever known.

{verse}
E A
Well its a lot like fishing without the lake.
E A
You get up early and you stay out late.
E B7
Take everything you own and toss it on the cart.
E A
Ice chest, cold beer, pork rinds too.
E A
Golf clubs, golf balls, tees and shoes.
E B7 E
Then you're off down the fairway chasing that little white ball.

{chorus}
A B7
Cow pasture pool.
E A
Learning all the rules.
F#m B
Red stakes, hazards, white stakes, out of bounds.
A B7
Well I'm hitting five, hollering four,
E A
writing three down for my score.
E B7 E
Lord I really love this game of golf.

{verse}
E A
Well you got to make a side bet on every hole.
E A
Nothing more than a dollar or so.
E B7
Longest off the tee box, the closest one to the pin.
E A
Theres birdies, greenies, sandies and trash.
E A
Man I hope I brought enough cash.
E B7 E
If I can sink a forty foot putt I think I'll win.

{chorus}

{verse}
E A
Now its quiet on the tee box, about to hit.
E A
Grab a club, ya swing hard and ya holler ah shit.
E B7
I hit another mulligen, that ones out of play.
E A
Yer head down, swing easy, back in your stance.
E A
You hit it past the ladies tee box or drop your pants.
E B7 E
There aint no better way to spend the day.

{chorus}
A B7
I'm hitting five, hollering four,
E A
writing three down for my score.
E B7 E
Lord I really love this game of golf.
A E
Well it looks like a gimme to me.
