A Pirate looks at forty! Remember the first time you ever heard those lyrics?
"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 they switch from sails to steam
in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
yes I am a pirate, two-hundread years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I p*** it away so fast
never meant to last, never meant to last
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 stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends"

Happy belated birthday!!Detroit Finz wrote:Pirate has always been a favorite but I just turned 40 so it strikes even more of a chord today!
A Pirate Looks At Forty gets my vote.
I'm predicting APLA40 will win the BARS bracket and go up against FINS or COME MONDAY in the BALLADS bracket and WIN that too!
