Fountain Grove

Versuri

[Verse 1] Fountain Grove came riding in with plans beneath their hats, They'd talked it up for weeks, said they'd handle this and that. But the west wind changed direction, and the afternoon turned cold, When Winchester Country Club came walking through the door. [Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the night's gone long, The score ran rough, the hope ran wrong. You thought you'd take the west by storm, Then Winchester came and changed the form. Now the coffee's cold, the chairs are stacked, And there ain't no easy road back. [Verse 2] David Aldrich III and David Aldrich Jr., Jeff Dietrich, Matt Johnson, Scott Patterson, Alan Miller. Rick Neal and Jason Occhialini, Gary Rooker, Eric Rakestraw, Don Emerson, Markus Hockenson—well, you know how hard they fought. [Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the night's gone long, The score ran rough, the hope ran wrong. You thought you'd take the west by storm, Then Winchester came and changed the form. Now the coffee's cold, the chairs are stacked, And there ain't no easy road back. [Verse 3] Dave Killer, Rick Classon, Shane Kittle held their heads up high, But the west had its own answer underneath that open sky. They came in sure they'd do it, now the long drive home feels strange, Some nights you learn the hard way what a name can mean in game. [Bridge] It’s Winchester—win, then Chester, Say it slow and let it sting. They thought they had the west in hand, Till the west became the thing. [Final Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the night's gone long, The score ran rough, the hope ran wrong. You thought you'd take the west by storm, Then Winchester came and changed the form. Let the porch light burn, let the old road bend, Some losses ride with you till the end. [Outro] Fountain Grove, the night rolls on, The west is wide, the game is gone.
