Original Song: The Birdie
The Birdie
© 2015 Chuck Smeeton
E A
I’m standing on the tee
E A
Brand new ball in hand
E A
Dogleg over the ocean
E A
It’s time to take a stand
Teed up nice and high
I want to catch the breeze
Shake off those demons now
Just swing the club with ease
(Chorus)
B A
Can’t explain why it feels so right
B A
Solid contact hit with all my might
B A
All my chip shots hit the green and bite
B A
No better feeling than…
E A
Standing on the tee
E A
Standing on the tee
E A
Standing on the tee
E A
Standing on the tee
Club head back and shoulders turn
Hips release and let it rip
Way out over water
Find that narrow green strip
150 to the pin
Danger sand is on the right
Settle in and get a read
Perfect contact, it takes flight
(Chorus)
Back edge of the green
Downhill to the hole
Nasty break from right to left
Just want a steady roll
Tracking right on line
It might be a little thin
Slowing down but rolling true
Hold my breath… It drops in
About the original songs
In January 2012 I commenced a goal of trying to write and record at least one song from scratch each month – sometimes it comes easily, sometimes it’s a real challenge, but I love the discipline it creates. I managed to complete the year, but it was so much fun that I’ve decided to keep it rolling for as long as I can. As they say, creativity doesn’t need inspiration, it needs a deadline!
