A Pirate Looks At 40 |
| Mother, mother ocean, I’ve heard you call |
| Wanted to sail upon your waters |
| Since I was three feet tall |
| You’ve seen it all, you’ve seen it all |
| Watch the men who rode you |
| Switch from sails to steam |
| And in your belly you can hold the treasures |
| Few have ever seen |
| Most of them dream |
| Most of them dream |
| Yes, I am a pirate two hundred years too late |
| Cannons don’t thunder there’s nothin' to plunder |
| I’m an over forty victim of fate |
| Arriving too late, arriving too late |
| But I’ve done a bit of smugglin' |
| I’ve run my share of grass |
| Made enough money to buy Miami |
| But I pissed it away so fast |
| Never meant to last |
| Never meant to last |
| I have been drunk now for over two weeks |
| Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks |
| But I’ve got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' |
| I’m down to rock bottom again. |
| Just a few friends |
| Just a few friends |
| I go for younger women, lived with several awhile |
| Though I ran them away, they come back one day |
| And still could manage a smile |
| It just takes awhile, just takes awhile |
| Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I’ve found |
| Occupational hazard be my occupations just not around |
| Feel like I’ve drowned but all were frowned |
| Feel like I’ve drowned |
