Golf Song

[Domenic]

A golfer (good man) doesn't cheat (drink)
and i've been playing (drinking) alone.
So what does that make me?
My hands they always shake,
and no one's callin my phone.
So what does that make me?
I know the kid with his driver (guitar) so excited (drunk) and anxious,
it's been done to death but tell me what hasn't, i'll try it.
Because i'm selfish enough to want to get better,
but i'm backwards enough not to take any steps to get there.
And when you realize it's a pattern and not a phase,
it's what you've become and it's what you will stay,
that's the ballgame.
Cause i don't got room in my life for anyone else.
And i've driven away all the people that can help.
And i still don't even know what i need to do to fix my game (self).

There's a clamp around my chest that tightens everytime i lapse into another sorry story,
about my miserable collapse
A brown box i keep encased in glass and dust off whenever i want your pity.
Cause lately i've had to come to grips with scope and figure.
How my problems stack up in a world two steps from scratch (ruin),
or maybe it's rapture.
Well either way i realize that my game's (shit's) about as bad (small) as it could be,
but that makes me feel worse for even feeling this bad in the first place.
Cause there's a tee time (war) starting soon and all the clubs (flags) will be swinging (waving),
Daniel's twenty year old friend will be ready, and willing, and waiting.
He's a 20 'cap (marine) and he told me.
And it makes me sad, really really ****ing sad,
but at least he'll act.
I'll just bite my tongue and then say
"Daniel you wish him luck, i'll pray that he comes back with a 90 (for his mother's sake),"
and then i'll putt those thoughts away,
I've gotten good at that.
Cause when you realize it's a pattern and not a phase,
it's what you've become and it's what you will stay,
that's the ballgame.

it's called ballgame by Kevin Devine. it's about alcholism but if you change some words, it's very much about golf. at least that's what I always think of when I listen to it. I took the liberty of changing a couple for you actually it's a very good and emotional song before I went and f*cked it up. anyways.
