Straight Down The Middle

Bing Crosby

Transposer:

Intro Fore! Verse One Straight down the middle it went straight down the middle Then it started to hook just a wee wee bit that’s when my caddie lost sight of it That little white pellet has never been found to this day But it went straight down the middle like they say Verse Two Whack down the fairway it went smack down the fairway Then it started to slice just a smidge offline it headed for two then it bounced off nine My caddie said as long as you’re still in the state you’re OK Yes it went straight down the middle quite a way Verse Three The sun was never brighter the greens were never greener And I was never keener to play I heard it ping down the middle it went zing down the middle Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom there’s always the lies in the locker room And I’m in my glory when wrapped in a towel I can say That it went straight down the middle today Short break Verse Four Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom though they charge it for listening in the locker room And I’m in my glory when wrapped in a towel I can say That it went straight down the middle where it wound up is a riddle But it went straight down the middle far awsy

La chanson évoque les mésaventures d'un golfeur sur le parcours. Il décrit ses tirs, qui semblent bien commencer mais qui finissent souvent mal, que ce soit en déviant ou en s'échappant dans des directions imprévues. Malgré les imprécisions et les difficultés, il trouve du plaisir à jouer, surtout dans l’ambiance conviviale du vestiaire où les histoires et les plaisanteries se partagent. Le ton léger et humoristique montre que la vie d'un golfeur est faite de hauts et de bas, mais il y a toujours une joie à être sur le terrain et à profiter du moment, même si le ballon ne suit pas toujours la trajectoire de rêve. C'est une célébration de la passion pour le golf, faite de camaraderie et de bonne humeur, même lorsque les choses ne se passent pas exactement comme prévu.
