Work Like a Captain, Party Like a Pirate

Just left the grind, Couldn't take anymore
Headin down the road, I pull over along the shore
Loosen up my tie, & wander along the beach
Find a local bar, & grab a corner seat
When a salty old man slides in next to me
Says son you look like a ship about to hit a reef

If you buy me a rum, I'll steer you from what's wrong
Set sail, take down the corporate flag
Sometimes you gotta hoist the Jolly Rogers, & pull up the anchor with it
If you work like a captain, then party like a pirate

That day I learned, That stress has a price
Trying to find the X, In this treasure map of life
But that chest of gold don't matter, If your compass isn't true
Captain I raise my rum, In salute to you
When an overworked young man slides in next to me
I say son you look like a ship about to hit a reef

If you buy me a rum, I'll steer you from what's wrong
Set sail, Take down the corporate flag
Sometimes you gotta hoist the Jolly Rogers, & pull up the anchor with it
If you work like a captain, then party like a pirate

I've been doing this along time son, Believe me you're not the only one
When you sail off into the sunset, Remember adventure is all we got

If you buy me a rum, I'll steer you from what's wrong
Set sail, Take down the corporate flag
Sometimes you gotta hoist the Jolly Rogers, & pull up the anchor with it
If you work like a captain, then party like a pirate
