Reggae cover of Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks at Forty." We've been jamming this classic song on the tour bus for the past few years so we thought we'd record a studio cover version for y'all!

lyrics

Lyrics:
(All)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(TJ O'Neill)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(KBong)
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 them dream, most of them dream

(Stick Figure)
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

(Johnny Cosmic)
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
It's never meant to last, it's never meant to last

(All)
Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends, with just a few friends

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
