Done in the style of a "Cajun Techno", the song was explained by Dolby on his live album Forty: Live Limited Edition to be a semi-autobiographical narrative based on his experience of a road trip near New Orleans. In the song, the narrator decides to go bowling on a Friday morning, he and a friend drive toward the Everglades in a stolen Datsun ; they are arrested after crashing the car in a rainstorm, but the county sheriff offers to let them go in exchange for a bribe as long as they get rid of the car in the Gulf of Mexico.
