[Verse] I remember those days, with a tear and a smile. Cause they haven't happened, in quite a while. Relaxing in the cart, and getting some advice, Not just on golf, but also on life. You taught me to golf, and better my score. You taught me to be a father, and so much more. When the game or life, would get out of hand. You taught me how to focus, and how to be a man. [Chorus] You said "Its not about winning, Or even if you lose, It's about your reactions, And the paths that you choose." You said "It's not how you start, There are rules you can't bend. It's about how you play, And where you are in the end." [Verse] I learned to never give up, when the going gets tough. You can always pull through, when you land in the rough. When everything you do, still leads you a stray. Just keep on tryin, and you'll get through the day. Count every stroke, and learn from your mistakes. Never give up, no matter what it takes. When you think you've lost, and have no where to run. Remember that the game and life are short, have fun. [Chorus] You said "Its not about winning, Or even if you lose, It's about your reactions, And the paths that you choose." You said "It's not how you start, There are rules you can't bend. It's about how you play, And where you are in the end." [Bridge] If you're in the water or layin in the sand, Just slow down, don't let things get out of hand. Just tighten your grip, you know what to do. Just say a little prayer, and swing on through. [Chorus] You said "Its not about winning, Or even if you lose, It's about your reactions, And the paths that you choose." You said "It's not how you start, There are rules you can't bend. It's about how you play, And where you are in the end." [Finale]
