lirik lagu roger creager - a pirate looks at forty
mother, mother ocean, i have heard you call
wanted to sail upon your waters since i was three feet tall
youve seen it all, youve seen it all
watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
and in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
most of em dream, most of em dream
yes i am a pirate, two hundred years too late
the cannons dont thunder, theres nothin to plunder
im an over-forty victim of fate
arriving too late, arriving too late
ive done a bit of smugglin, ive run my share of gr-ss
i made enough money to buy miami, but i p-ssed it away so fast
never meant to last, never meant to last
and i have been drunk now for over two weeks
i p-ssed out and i rallied and i sprung a few leaks
but i got stop wishin, got to go fishin
down to rock bottom again
just a few friends, just a few friends
(instrumental)
i go for younger women, lived with several awhile
though i ran em away, theyd come back one day
still could manage to smile
just takes a while, just takes a while
mother, mother ocean, after all the years ive found
my occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
i feel like ive drowned, gonna head uptown
