up on the first tee
you didn't notice the lake, you didn't see them trees
just a patch of green grass so fair
you ripped it hard, you stuck it right out there
when did your bicycle turn into a car
when did invincible become an open heart
riding in a cart
welcome to the back nine
where we hit 'em straight and putt 'em twice
leave the birdies for the youngsters
and good times to the wise
out here on the back nine
remember them crazy kids
and all of the dumbass things that they did
all you can do is scratch your head
and wish what you know you knew back then
when did your radio switch from headbanger to talk
when did bravado hear the tickin' clock
and become a steady walk
(chorus)
but the years they haven't touched you
you grow more beautiful like all dreams do
and become more true
when did thist gigglin' girl
become my best friend in the world
and why did history
give me this miracle for free
when did timidity change to steady hands
when did that harley change to a mini van
i think i understand
(chorus)
