A Pirate looks at Forty
Jimmy Buffet

1) Mother mother ocean, I have heard tour call.
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall.
You've seen it all, you've seen it all.

2) Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams.

3) Yes, I am a pirate, two 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.

4) I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I've made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
never meant to last, never meant to last.

5) I've been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and I rallied and I
sprung a few leaks but I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin', I'm
down to rock bottom again.
Just a few friends, just a few friends.

6) I go for younger women, lived with several a while.
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day and I can still manage a
smile
It just takes a while, it just takes a while.

7) Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around.
I feel like I drowned, gonna head uptown.

Cheers

BC Al
