Fountain Grove

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fountain Grove came sure of themselves that day, Talked like the match was already won. They brought their best and they made their play, Then met the West when the work begun. [Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the score came down, And all that confidence left town. You thought you had it, you thought you’d prevail, Then Winchester rode in and turned the tale. That’s Winchester Country Club, plain as can be— A hard day’s loss, and a long ride home for thee. [Verse 2] David Aldrich the Third stood tall in the line, David Aldrich Jr. kept his name in the fight. Jeff Dietrich, Matt Johnson, Scott Patterson too, Alan Miller and Rick Neal saw the whole thing through. Jason Occhialini, Gary Rooker held fast, Eric Rakestraw and Don Emerson made it last. [Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the score came down, And all that confidence left town. You thought you had it, you thought you’d prevail, Then Winchester rode in and turned the tale. That’s Winchester Country Club, plain as can be— A hard day’s loss, and a long ride home for thee. [Verse 3] Markus Hockenson, Dave Killer in the fray, Rick Classon, Shane Kittle helped carry the day. No need for boasting, no need to pretend, The West had its answer before the match could end. They thought they could do it; they came with a plan, But Winchester showed them just where they stand. [Bridge] Let the clubhouse grow quiet, let the last glass ring, Some losses stay longer than the songs we sing. The road back to Fountain Grove runs slow tonight, With the West in the rearview and the score in sight. [Final Chorus] Oh, Fountain Grove, the score came down, And all that confidence left town. You thought you had it, you thought you’d prevail, Then Winchester rode in and turned the tale. That’s Winchester Country Club—remember the name, Win fucking Chester walked off with the game. [Outro] The porch light’s on, the night is still, Fountain Grove is heading home from the hill.
