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 sail to steam
5
In your belly you can hold the treasures few have ever seen
6
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
7
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
8
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
9
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
10
Arriving too late, arriving too late
11
But I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
12
Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
13
Never meant to last, never meant to last
14
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
15
Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
16
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
17
I'm down to rock bottom again
18
Just a few friends, just a few friends
19
"Nice to see all of our friends every year. Thank you
20
friends."
21
Now I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
22
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
23
And I still could manage a smile
24
Sure takes a while, just takes a while
25
Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I've found
26
Occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
27
Feel like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frown
28
Feel like I've drowned, I'm gonna go check out
29
Peachtree Street somewhere downtown
