Stick Figure - "A Pirate Looks at 40" (Reggae Version) [with TJ O'Neill, KBong & Johnny Cosmic]

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: (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 http://www.stickfigure.com https://www.facebook.com/stickfiguremusic http://www.twitter.com/StickFigureDub http://www.soundcloud.com/stickfigure https://www.instagram.com/stickfiguremusic
