Mother, mother ocean, I've heard you call

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'
