300 Years Ago

I've felt the sand, beneath my toes
 I've sailed the waves and given up my soul
 I've made my name and plundered coasts
 Like pirates did 300 years ago
 I've buried hearts that were made of gold
 I've sunken ships from here to Mexico
 I've sang the songs, I've played the shows
 Like pirates did 300 years ago
 Well sometimes there's something in the wind
 That makes me feel like they're my kin
 With the drifters and the rebels
 I've found a home
 Oh, but in the end they're gone like smoke
 And then I'm left for broke
 On an island, stranded and alone
 Like a pirate 300 years ago
 It's been so long, I've been off course
 I've got no compass that knows the way to north
 So here I am, just chasing ghosts
 Like pirates did 300 years ago
 Well sometimes there's something in the wind
 That makes me feel like they're my kin
 With the drifters and the rebels
 I've found a home
 Oh, but in the end they're gone like smoke
 And then I'm left for broke
 On an island, stranded and alone
 Like a pirate 300 years ago
 I've felt the sand, beneath my toes
 I've sailed the waves and given up my soul
 But man I love this life I chose
 Like pirates did 300 years ago
