Just a few friends Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I've found Watch the men who rode you Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks Cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder Wanted to sail upon your waters Most of them dream I'm an over forty victim of fate But I pissed it away so fast Made enough money to buy Miami Yes, I am a pirate two hundred years too late And in your belly you can hold the treasures Just a few friends I've run my share of grass Few have ever seen Songwriter: Jimmy Buffett And still could manage a smile I have been drunk now for over two weeks Feel like I've drowned but all were frowned Mother, mother ocean, I've heard you call Never meant to last Most of them dream Though I ran them away, they come back one day Since I was three feet tall Arriving too late, arriving too late It just takes awhile, just takes awhile Never meant to last You've seen it all, you've seen it all Occupational hazard be my occupations just not around Publisher: DUCHESS MUSIC CORPORATION Feel like I've drowned Switch from sails to steam But I've done a bit of smugglin' I'm down to rock bottom again. I go for younger women, lived with several awhile But I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
