TJ O'Neill - A Pirate Looks at 40 Lyrics

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water 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
Cnd in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream

Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Crriving too late, arriving too late

I've 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
It's never meant to last, it's never meant to last

Well 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, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends, with just a few friends

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Cnd 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, I got to go fishing, 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
With just a few friends, with just a few friends
With just a few friends, with just a few friends
