Generate meaning
1
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
2
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
3
You've seen it all,you've seen it all
4
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
5
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
6
Most of them dream, most of them dream
7
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
8
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
9
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
10
Arriving too late, arriving too late
11
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
12
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
13
Never meant to last, never meant to last
14
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
15
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
16
But I got stop wishing, got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
17
Just a few friends, just a few friends
18
I go for younger women, lived with several a while
19
Though I ran them away, they'd come back one day
20
Still could manage to smile
21
Just takes a while, just takes a while
