Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song after a day of golf with my dad.

Song Description

Frustrated golfer with all the excuses hoping to do better

Lyrics

The Double Bogey Boogie Woogie Blues

Nine holes of golf on a beautiful day sounds fun
I?m hoping for a good score, maybe a hole in one
I check the wind by finger, lick it, hold it up
It doesn?t seem to help me get the ball into the cup

I guess I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
(I think I might have teed the ball a little bit too high that time)
Guess I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
(Did you notice that the wind picked up just as I teed off?)
Maybe it?s the golf clubs, maybe it?s these shoes
(My knees have been acting up again today)
Somehow I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
((Tenth hole here we go)
I finally hit a drive, a nice shot for me
I just took awhile to walk there, proud as I could be
I was hoping for a birdie, at least a par 3
It landed by the flag and then it rolled off of the green now

I guess I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
(Hey how?d that tree get in my way?)
Looks like I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
(I don?t remember that sand trap last time)
Maybe it?s how golfers pay their dues
((It?s just too hot out today ? the ground is too hard)
Somehow I?ve got those double bogey boogie woogie blues
(Trouble is I?m standing too close to the ball?after I hit it)
(Now I usually shoot in the low 70?s ? if it gets any hotter, I quit!)
