about

This song is about bowling. In order to be a decent bowler you need to relax. I find copious amounts of rum and cokes help immensely. When people start getting uptight; even if your not bowling, turn to them and say, "Hey man, just relax and get a strike."
Their reaction?.....APPRECIATION!......then.....LAUGHTER!

lyrics

The motorcycle
in the bowling parking lot
the tattooed forearms
of both the men and women
at the 10 pin tournament
the rum and cokes are drunk
that's the way it goes
yes!
at the OKAY BOWLING HALL
okay

as they cheer them on
a nickname

just relax and get a strike

bowl bowl bowl
strike away
fancy pins
and gutter balls
the neon floor lights
sometimes trash is fun
at the 10 pin tournament
the rum and cokes are drunk
that's the way it goes yes
at the OKAY BOWLING HALL
okay

as i cheer them on
a nickname

just relax and get a strike

now the town does go to sleep
not even a bowling beep
I know
that in time they will strike again
