Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call

Wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall

You seen it all, you seen it all

Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam

And in your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen

Most of them dream, most of them dream

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 to late, arriving to late

I 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

I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and

I rallied and I smoked a few reefs

But I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again

Just a few friends, just a few friends

LEAD

I go for younger women, lived with several a while

Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile

Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found

Occupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around

Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town

Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town
