Jack Johnson - A Pirate Looks At Forty (iTunes Originals Version) Lyrics
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you callWanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tallYouve seen it all, youve seen it allWatched the men who rode you switch from sails to steamAnd in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seenMost of em dream, most of em dreamYes I am a pirate, two hundred years too lateThe cannons don't thunder, there's nothin to plunderIm an over-forty victim of fateArriving too late, arriving too lateI've done a bit of smugglin, Ive run my share of grassI made enough money to buy miami, but I pissed it away so fastNever meant to last, never meant to lastAnd I have been drunk now for over two weeksI passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaksBut I got stop wishin, got to go fishinDown to rock bottom againJust a few friends, just a few friendsJust a few friends, just a few friends
