0:00A Pirate Looks At Forty - Jack Johnson
0:19Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
0:28Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
0:36You've seen it all, you've seen it all
0:47Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
0:57In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
1:04Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
1:43Yes I am a pirate, a few two hundred years too late
1:52The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
1:57I'm an over-forty victim of fate
2:01Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late
2:11I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
2:21I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
2:29Never meant to last, never meant to last
3:08And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
3:12I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
3:16But I got stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
3:21Down to rock bottom again
3:25Just a few friends, just a few friends
3:34Just a few friends, just a few friends
