Title: PIRATE LOOK AT FORTY (Jimmy Buffet)

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

Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam And 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 nothin' to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate Arriving to late, arriving to late

I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last

I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and

I rallied and I smoked a few reefs But I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again Just a few friends, just a few friends

LEAD

I go for younger women, lived with several a while Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found Occupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town
