The Back Nine

I've seen some things

More than most people would believe

I've lived my dreams

Some shattered, twisted, and buckled at the knees

I've fallen down

My ghosts come back to haunt some days

I've paid the price for every stone unturned

With lessons learned hard ways

Just goes to show

I don't know anything at all or so I am told

But this I know

Taken my hits and now begging for more

And I don't want to talk about it

Makes me sick, but I can't live without it

Drives me crazy, there's no two ways about it

I act like it don't phase me, try and sort it out in hindsight

Maybe I'll never be alright

I take my time cuz I can't live without it

Well that's just life on the back nine

I've listened to advice

Dissected every word that's said

I've rolled the dice

Been taken for every single cent

I count the hours, ticking minutes, seconds

Voices in my head

Rolled up my sleeves

Played make believe with Miss Roulette

Just goes to show

I don't know anything at all and that's for sure

But as I've grown

Taken my hits and now begging for more

And I don't want to talk about it

Makes me sick, but I can't live without it

Drives me crazy, there's no two ways about it

I act like it don't phase me, try and sort it out in hindsight

Maybe I'll never be alright

I take my time cuz I can't live without it

Well that's just life on the back nine

Inhale exhale, I just can't live without it

Inhale exhale, no two ways around it

I've seen some things

Ask me next to most anything

Can't tell a lie

Awake in every single dream

Oh me oh my

Striked out again but feeling fine

Another round

Shuffle your cards and deal 'em out

Life's too short to play your small hand

Nothing good in life comes easy

And I don't want to talk about it

Makes me sick, but I can't live without it

Drives me crazy, there's no two ways about it

I act like it don't phase me, try and sort it out in hindsight

Maybe I'll never be alright

I take my time cuz I can't live without it

Well that's just life on the back nine

Ah ya that's life

Ah ya that's life

Ah ya that's life

Ya that's just life on the back nine

Ah ya that's life

Ah ya that's life

Ah ya that's life

Ya that's just life on the back nine
