| 作词 : Buffett | |
| Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett | |
| 'This is a song, I guess I wrote this for an old friend of mine a few years back who could just not seem to find his occupation in the twentieth century. So he just chose to live in a fantasy world. And then I looked at him I went, Well what the hell's wrong with that? So if this song has been able to ease your pain ever so slightly, I'm glad I wrote it 'cause that's what it's for. It's called Pirate Looks at Forty.' | |
| Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call | |
| Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall | |
| You've seen it all, you've seen it all | |
| Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam | |
| In your belly you can hold the treasures few have ever seen | |
| Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams | |
| 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 too late, arriving too late | |
| But I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass | |
| 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, | |
| Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks | |
| But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin' | |
| I'm down to rock bottom again | |
| Just a few friends, just a few friends | |
| 'Nice to see all of our friends every year. Thank you | |
| friends.' | |
| Now I go for younger women, lived with several awhile | |
| Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day | |
| And I still could manage a smile | |
| Sure takes a while, just takes a while | |
| Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I've found | |
| Occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around | |
| Feel like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frown | |
| Feel like I've drowned, I'm gonna go check out | |
| Peachtree Street somewhere downtown |
