I Took A Walk By The River
It was a beautiful full moon night
I had a lot to think about
I took a walk by the River
I had to get it right.
It has been 14 wonderful years
We had a lot of fun
It wasn't about the bowling
Because we hardly ever won.
Anne Murray wrote the famous song
A Grammy she could have won
She sang about our 'motto'
If You Ain't Winning You Ain't Having Fun.
It was a beautiful full moon night
I had a lot to think about
I took a walk by the River
I had to get it right.
A weekly video of our game
Was viewed wide and far
Our fan base grew so much
We all felt like a movie star.
We saw bowlers come and go
Everyone tried their best
But the point was to have fun
Although we tried to beat the rest.
It was a beautiful full moon night
I had a lot to think about
I took a walk by the River
I had to get it right.
Your Captain is getting older
He has had a lot of fun
He went for a walk by the River
Retirement had to come.
The Captain listened to the waves
As they lapped against the shore
The voice was deafening as it said
You can't do it anymore.
You must listen to your inner self
To guide you in this life
The time is now, the time is now
The waves called him and he made it right.
The Captain has now retired
From his All Male Bowling Team
Tuesday Night at Taylor Creek
Will now be but a dream.
Captain Hot Shot
