A Pirate Looks at Forty 歌詞
A Pirate Looks at Forty - The Hit Co.
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your
Waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch
From sails to steam
In your belly you hold the
Treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
Yes I am a pirate, a few
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder,
There's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late
I've done a bit of smugglin',
I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami,
But I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant
To last
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and
I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran em away, theyd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my
Occupations just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head up town
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head up town
