Karaoke A Pirate Looks at Forty Jimmy Buffett

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

Watch the men who rode you switch from sail to steam

In your belly you hold the treasures

Few have ever seen most of them dream most of them dream

Yes I am a pirate two hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder

I'm an over forty victim of fate arriving too late arriving too late

I done a bit of smuggling

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 to stop wishing got to go fishing down to rock bottom again

Just a few friends

Just a few friends

I go for younger women lived with several a while

Though I ran them away they'd come back one day

And still could manage a smile it just takes a while it 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 uptown

I feel like I've drowned

Gonna head uptown
