38 Special You're the Captain lyrics

I'd crawl a mile, I'd climb the highest hill
To bring you back to a life that's real
You burned your mind out with your foolish games
May you lie there helpless, will you ever be the same?

You're the captain, the leader of your ship
Don't get captured 'cause you just might never quit
You're the captain, I hope you realize
Don't be a fool, better open up your eyes

I've traveled this world, I've seen most of it
I've seen the best ones go down with the ship
Fortune and fame, they don't mean a thing
When you're hooked on junk, that's your only game

You're the captain, the leader of your ship
Don't get captured 'cause you just might never quit
You're the captain, I hope you realize
Don't be a fool, better open up your eyes, yeah


Just a part of life that we all must go through
Gettin' high with friends was all in being cool
Hope you never see this misery
A prisoner by drugs, with no right to be free

You're the captain, leader of your ship
Don't get captured 'cause you just might never quit
You're the captain, I hope you realize
Don't be a fool, better open up your eyes

You're the captain, oh, the leader of your ship
Don't get captured, no no, you just might never quit
You're the captain, oh, need we, realize
You're the captain
