James Taylor - Captain Jim's Drunken Dream Lyrics
Well you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at meBut its plain as rain that youve never been down to the southern seaTo see me now is like watching a fish on dry landI only wish you could see me down in the islandsMister, thats my home.What a fool I was to leave the only happiness Ive knownYou see me coming, you wink your eye and call me captain jimAnd when I dont do nothin but walk on by you say baby get a load of himAll I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I standInstead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I aint a manYoull never understandUp here Im a whisky bum but down there Im a kingSounds just like the angels up in heavenWhen they singWelcome home, welcome homeSuch a sight to seeInstead of some salvation army sisterSinging nearer my God to theeNow I know that yankee whisky has taken away my mindAnd I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankindAnd I know this tree Im under is shaped entirely wrongI need to see a gentle palm tree and I wont wait to longI can feel that its coming on strongThe first cold wind of winter is flapping in my clothesShowing me the way with the direction that it blowsWelcome home, welcome home
