A Pirate Looks At 40

   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

   I've watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam
   In your belly you can hold the treasures few have ever seen
   Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams

   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 too late, arriving too late

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

   Now I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
   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...

   Jimmy Buffet is [1]wonderful.
