Jack Johnson Pirate Looks at 40 song lyrics

mother mother ocean

i have heard you call

wanted to sail upon your waters

since i was 3ft tall

cause you've seen it all

you've seen it all

i've watched the men who rode you

they switched from sails to steam

and in your belly you hold the treasures

few have ever seen

most of them are dreams

most of them are dreams

well yes i am a pirate

a few hundered years to late

the cannons dont thunder

there's nothing to plunder

im an under 40 victim of fate

arriving to late

arriving to late

i've done a bit of smuggling

well i've run my share of grass

i've made enough money to buy my emy

but i pissed it away so fast

its never ment to last

its never ment to last

well i've been drunk now 4 over 2 weeks

i've passed out and i've rallied and i've sprung a few leaks

but i've gotta stop wishin'

i've gotta go fishin'

down to rock bottom again

with just a few friends

just a few friends

with just a few friends

just a few friends
