Double Bogey Blues Lyrics

It's a bright sunny morning, I'm out on the green

Got my clubs in the cart, and a dose of sunscreen

I swing for the fairway, but I slice it right

Now I'm deep in the rough, it's out a' sight

I aim for the green, it's my time to shine,

But the wind picks up, and it veers offline

It splashes in the pond, I hang my head low

Now I'm digging for a ball, where the cattails grow

Oh, I got the double-bogey blues, can't find my groove

The harder I try, the more I lose

The ball don't listen, it just won't go

Got the double-bogey blues, oh no, oh no

I got the double-bogey blues, can't catch a break

Every single shot, just another mistake

I dream of par, but I got plus two

Got the double-bogey blues

What am I gonna do? Oh no

I line up my putt, thinking this is the one

But it rolls right past, and the damage is done

Now I'm in a trap, sweat drips from my brow

I give it a swing, and hit a house

I grab my wedge, thinking I'll chip it close

But the ball barely moves, and my hopes are toast

I give it one more try, and of course hit it thin

Now I'm back in the sand, where I had just been

Oh, I got the double-bogey blues, can't find my groove

The harder I try, the more I lose

The ball don't listen, it just won't go

Got the double-bogey blues, oh no, oh no

I got the double-bogey blues, can't catch a break

Every single shot, just another mistake

I dream of par, but I got plus two

Got the double-bogey blues

What am I gonna do? (What am I gonna do?)

Arm straight, knees bent, don't sway, light grip

Head down, wrists firm, swing smooth, clear your hips

Maintain your rhythm, don't rush, follow through

No matter what I do, I still play like a fool

Oh, I got the double-bogey blues, can't find my groove

The harder I try, the more I lose

The ball don't listen, it just won't go

Got the double-bogey blues, oh no, oh no

I got the double-bogey blues, can't catch a break

Every single shot, just another mistake

I dream of par, but I got plus two

Got the double-bogey blues

What am I gonna do?

I got the double-bogey blues, can't find my groove

The harder I try, the more I lose

The ball don't listen, it just won't go

Got the double-bogey blues, oh no, oh no

I got the double-bogey blues, can't catch a break

Every single shot, just another mistake

I dream of par, but I got plus two

Got the double-bogey blues

What am I gonna do?
