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 sails to steam?
In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen?
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams?
Yes I am a pirate, a few two hundred years too late?
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder?
I'm an over-forty victim of fate?
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late?
I've 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?
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks?
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks?
But I got stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'?
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
