Jimmy Buffet A Pirate Looks At Forty Lyrics

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

Watched the men who rode you
Switch from sail to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures
few have ever seen
Most of them dream
Most of them dream

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

But I've done a bit of smuggling
I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
But I p___ed it away so fast
Never meant to last
Never meant to last

Now I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I've passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've got stop wishin, got to go fishin
I'm down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends
Just a few friends

Now I go for younger women
Lived with several awhile
Though I ran them away
they'd come back one day
And I still could manage a smile
Just takes a while
just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean
After all my years I've found
An occupational hazard being
My occupations just not around
And feel like I've drowned
I'm gonna head out of town
I feel like I've drowned
I'm gonna head out of town
