Three Shots Thirty Yards Out
See the first ball, see the goal
try to aim for the hole
follow through with ankles tight
and the ball just might,
hit the target in plain sight
But to your dismay
you see the ball sail away
like the ships do in may
past the woodwork and lost in the unknown
yearning for their familiar home.
See the second ball, see the goal
try to aim for the hole
feel your foot in the sole
then follow through with ankles tight
and the ball just might,
hit the target in plain sight
But like a speeding car
the ball crashes into the bar
and flings up into the blue sky
like a dirty lie
that this should've been a piece of pie
See the third ball, and see the goal
and try to aim for the hole
feel your foot in the sole
then follow through with ankles tight
and don't forget to make your run-up light like a kite.
and then the ball just might
hit the target in plane sight
And into the air the air the ball zips
knuckling forward and then dips
into the hole in the net
which gives you that fantastic feeling
the one that gives you soccer scoring healing
