Ashley

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, gather round, gather round We got a testimony today Somebody tell the choir about Ashley [Verse 1] Ashley owns a lorry line Moves big loads from town to town He can guide a rig through any gate Turn that trailer clean around He knows every road and roundabout Keeps the whole fleet rolling right But put a little white ball on a tee And Ashley loses all his might [Pre-Chorus] He checks his stance, he checks his grip He takes a breath, then starts to slip His knees begin to tremble low And everybody already knows [Chorus] Ashley, brother, lift your head That tee shot ain't the end, they said You drive a lorry straight and true But that little ball keeps troubling you Oh, Ashley, why you moan so long? One bad swing don't make you wrong The choir sings, the fairway calls Just tap it forward, mate, that's all [Verse 2] He lines the club up like a ruler Takes a practice swing or three Then the knees start knocking loudly Like a loose part underneath He talks about the wind and grass The tee box, shoes, and weather too By the time the speech is over The ball is still where it grew [Pre-Chorus] He says the pressure's getting strong He says the whole golf day feels wrong But when his lorry hits the road He carries twice that heavy load [Chorus] Ashley, brother, lift your head That tee shot ain't the end, they said You drive a lorry straight and true But that little ball keeps troubling you Oh, Ashley, why you moan so long? One bad swing don't make you wrong The choir sings, the fairway calls Just tap it forward, mate, that's all [Bridge] [Lead] Who keeps the transport moving? [Choir] Ashley! [Lead] Who can reverse a trailer? [Choir] Ashley! [Lead] Who shakes like jelly at the tee? [Choir] Ashley! [Lead] Who complains till hole nineteen? [Choir] Ashley! [Breakdown] No more fear in the knees today No more speeches in the way Pick that club up, let it fly If it goes sideways, wave goodbye [Final Chorus] Ashley, brother, lift your head That tee shot ain't the end, they said You drive a lorry straight and true And one day that ball will listen too Oh, Ashley, sing your praise Even through the golfing haze The choir sings, the fairway calls Just tap it forward, mate, that's all [Outro] Keep those wheels upon the line Keep that fleet on schedule time And when the tee box makes you freeze Breathe in deep and bend your knees Ashley, amen!
