A Pirate Looks at 40

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

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

And 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
And just a few friends
But just a few friends
