Mother, mother ocean
I have heard you call
I've wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall
'Cause you've seen it all
You've seen it all
I've watched the men who've rode you
They switched from sails to steam
And in your belly, you hold the treasures
Few have ever seen
Most of them were dreams
Most of them were dreams
Well, yes, I am a pirate
A few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder
There's nothin' to plunder
I'm an under 40 victim of fate
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late
I've done a bit of smugglin'
Well, I've run my share of grass
I've made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
It's never meant to last
It's never 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've gotta stop wishin', I've gotta go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends
With just a few friends
With just a few friends
With just a few friends
