Lyrics
[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals] [a golf driver cracks a crisp THWACK, a putt drops, a gallery claps; the beat builds] [Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in] [Instrumental — the swing and the strings carry it alone] [Verse 1 — vocals enter at last] East of the city where the fairways roll, Bobby Jones's home and the famous hole; swing the driver, hear the crisp THWACK, East Lake driving and it won't look back. [Chorus] East Lake, East Lake, swing and drop, the TOUR comes home where the legends stop; whack, whack, putt, hear the gallery clap, the greatest comeback on the eastside map. [Verse 2] The cradle of golf in the southern sun, a neighborhood reborn where the champions run; every swing a hope on the manicured green, East Lake swinging like a putting dream. [Chorus] East Lake, East Lake, swing and drop, the TOUR comes home where the legends stop; whack, whack, putt, hear the gallery clap, the greatest comeback on the eastside map. [Outro — vocals stop here] [Instrumental — the golf swing rides out alone, no more singing] [Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
