By: jimmy buffett1974Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you callWanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tallYou've seen it all, you've 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 plunderI'm an over-forty victim of fateArriving too late, arriving too lateI've done a bit of smugglin', I've 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 fishin'Down to rock bottom againJust a few friends, just a few friends(instrumental)I go for younger women, lived with several awhileThough I ran 'em away, they'd come back one dayStill could manage to smileJust takes a while, just takes a whileMother, mother ocean, after all the years I've foundMy occupational hazard being my occupation's just not aroundI feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptownCoda:I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
