Bowling Alley Letra

When the boats are gone

Hey—when the early nights
Knot to dock
We’ll be meeting at the bowling alley
Hoping we can ease the cold
Girls, I’m the only man left in town
I’ll be drinking ’til I kiss the ledge
The waitress is a friend of mine

She was a sleeper on the pin deck
Hidden from her kingpin
But I’ve been out and in
A creeper on the drive
Yes I’m the kegler of the town
When the boys are gone
Blowing all the racks for the neon girls
On the neon lanes

Since I sold my boat
I’ve been three sheets to the wind
I can’t slow down on the booze

I’ve been singing Anchor Aweigh
Sitting at the bowling alley
Beached high and dry
Darkness is in the offing
I’m stranded at the bitter end
Listening to my siren sing

She was the Berlin wall
Of the telephone poles
But I’ve been waiting on the runway
To make my steal
Yes I’m the kegler of the town
When the boys are gone
Blowing all the racks for the neon girls
On the neon lanes
