[Intro: Spoken, playful country drawl] Well, I’ll tell you a story about a golfer today, Who did something amazing in a most unfortunate way. He made the shot of a lifetime, watched that little white ball fly, It dropped right in the hole… then he looked around and wanted to cry! [Verse 1] He stepped up to the tee box, got his feet set just right, Took a swing with his gap wedge, sent that ball in flight. He hit it short, it hit the hill, then bounced and rolled along, That little ball kept moving, though the shot had started wrong! It rolled right to the hole and dropped, he couldn’t believe his eyes, A perfect shot! A lucky break! A golfer’s grand surprise! He stood there for a second, with shock upon his face, Ready for some high fives, but nobody was in place! He looked around for people, waiting for a big hooray, But the course was practically deserted on that glorious day! [Chorus] He got a hole in one, he saw that ball go down! He looked UP AND DOWN for witnesses, but nobody was around! He wanted to holler, he wanted to cheer, But he was the only one who saw that ball disappear! No high fives, no cheers, no buddies having fun, Just him and that golf ball and a hole in one! He knows what he saw, and he knows what he’s done, But nobody else saw his hole in one! [Verse 2] He looked to the left, he looked to the right, Was there anybody watching? Not a person in sight! He checked around the green, looked behind a tree, But there wasn’t one soul who could back up his story! He could’ve used a witness, could’ve used a crowd, Could’ve used one person yelling, “Man, you should be proud!” But the golfing gods were laughing, playing one big joke, He’d just made the perfect shot with nobody to gloat! [Chorus] He got a hole in one, he saw that ball go down! He looked UP AND DOWN for witnesses, but nobody was around! He wanted to holler, he wanted to cheer, But he was the only one who saw that ball disappear! No high fives, no cheers, no buddies having fun, Just him and that golf ball and a hole in one! He knows what he saw, and he knows what he’s done, But nobody else saw his hole in one! [Verse 3: More energetic, playful country rap] He’s telling all his buddies, “You should’ve seen that shot!” They say, “We would’ve loved to, but we weren’t there to watch!” “Where’s your witness? Where’s your proof? Who saw that ball go in?” He says, “I WATCHED IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!” and starts to grin! He didn’t need a mulligan, didn’t need a second try, Didn’t need a little miracle delivered from the sky! He made the perfect shot, now he’s the only one who saw the move, The greatest golfing moment that he couldn’t even prove! [Bridge: Music drops back, spoken comedy] Now he’s got a problem, and it’s hard to explain, He made the shot of a lifetime, but nobody saw his claim! He can tell the guys at work, He can tell his golfing crew, He can tell his friends a hundred times… But they weren’t there, so what can they do? [Final Chorus: Full band, big singalong energy] He got a hole in one, he saw that ball go down! He looked UP AND DOWN for witnesses, but nobody was around! He wanted to holler, he wanted to cheer, But he was the only one who saw that ball disappear! No high fives, no cheers, no buddies having fun, Just him and that golf ball and a hole in one! He knows what he saw, and he knows what he’s done, But nobody else saw his hole in one! He’s keeping that ball, gonna put it on display, The only witness to his greatest golfing day! [Outro: Spoken, deadpan punchline] And the moral of the story, when your big day comes… MAKE SURE SOMEBODY’S WATCHING! When you get a hole in one…
