A Pirate Looks at 40

Lyrics

Mother, Mother Ocean
 I have heard your call
 I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
 You've seen it all
 You've seen it all
 ♪
 Mother, Mother Ocean
 I have heard your call
 I wanted to sail upon your water
 Since I was three feet tall
 You've seen it all
 You've seen it all
 I watched the men who rode you
 Switch from sails to steam
 And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
 Most of 'em dream
 But most of 'em dream
 Yes, I am a pirate
 A few hundred years too late
 The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
 I'm an over 40 victim of fate
 Arriving too late
 Arriving too late
 Well, I've done a bit of smuggling
 And I've run my share of grass
 I made enough money to buy Miami
 But I pissed it away so fast
 It's not meant to last
 It's not meant to last
 Well, I have been drunk now for over two weeks
 I've passed out, and I've rallied, and I've sprung a few leaks
 But I gotta stop wishing, I gotta go fishing
 Down at rock bottom again
 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends

 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends
 With just a few friends
 And just a few friends
 But just a few friends
