Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks At 40 Lyrics
Mother, mother oceanI've heard you callWanted to sail upon your watersSince I was three feet tallYou've seen it allYou see it allI've watched the men who rode youSwitched from sails to steamAnd in your belly you hold the treasuresFew have ever seenMost of them dreamsMost of them dreamsYes I am a pirateTwo hundred years too lateThe cannons don't thunderThere's nothing to plunderI'm an over forty victim of fateArriving too lateArriving too lateI've done a bit of smugglingAnd I've run my share of grassI've made enough money to buy MiamiBut I pissed it away so fastNever meant to lastNever meant to lastWell I have been drunk now for over two weeksI past and I've rallied and I sprung a few leaksBut I've got to stop wishin' got to go fishin'I'm down to rock bottom againWith just a few friendsJust a few friendsI go for younger women(Trouuubllee)Lived with several awhileBut I've ran them awayHell, they come back some dayAnd still can manage to smileJust takes a whileIt just takes a whileMother mother oceanAfter all these years I've foundThis occupational hazard beMy occupations just not aroundFeels like I've drownGonna get drunk up townFeels like I've drownWhen I get drunk up town
