Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett |
| [00:17.37] |
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call |
| [00:25.23] |
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall |
| [00:36.87] |
You've seen it all, you've seen it all |
| [00:42.75] |
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam |
| [00:50.55] |
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen |
| [00:57.66] |
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream |
| [01:06.87] |
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late |
| [01:14.88] |
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder |
| [01:18.93] |
I'm an over-forty victim of fate |
| [01:22.29] |
Arriving too late, arriving too late |
| [01:31.59] |
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass |
| [01:40.14] |
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast |
| [01:46.47] |
Never meant to last, never meant to last |
| [01:55.68] |
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks |
| [01:59.55] |
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks |
| [02:05.64] |
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin' |
| [02:07.11] |
Down to rock bottom again |
| [02:10.62] |
Just a few friends, just a few friends |
| [02:16.35] |
(instrumental) |
| [02:43.53] |
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile |
| [02:50.91] |
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day |
| [02:55.23] |
Still could manage to smile |
| [02:58.32] |
Just takes a while, just takes a while |
| [03:03.69] |
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found |
| [03:16.08] |
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around |
| [03:23.19] |
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown |
| [03:27.24] |
Coda: |
| [03:31.26] |
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown |
