The Captain and the Kid Lyrics

	Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett
	Music：Jimmy Buffett
	I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
	And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
	We'd go sailing back on Barkentines we'd talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the kid
	His world had gone from sailing ships to raking mom's backyard
	He never could adjust to land although he tried so hard
	We both were growing older then and wiser with the years
	That's when I came to understand the course his heart still steers
	He died about a month ago while winter filled the air
	And though I cried I was so proud to love a man so rare
	He's somewhere on the ocean now that's where he oughta be
	With one hand on the starboard rail he's wavin' back at me
	I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
	And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
	We'd go sailing back on Barkentines we'd talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the kid

	I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
	And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
	We' d go sailing back on Barkentines we' d talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the kid
	His world had gone from sailing ships to raking mom' s backyard
	He never could adjust to land although he tried so hard
	We both were growing older then and wiser with the years
	That' s when I came to understand the course his heart still steers
	He died about a month ago while winter filled the air
	And though I cried I was so proud to love a man so rare
	He' s somewhere on the ocean now that' s where he oughta be
	With one hand on the starboard rail he' s wavin' back at me
	I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
	And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
	We' d go sailing back on Barkentines we' d talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the kid
