The Captain and The Kid Lyrics |
||
 By: Jimmy Buffett 1970 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 talk of things he did The world was just a day away for the Captain and the kid For the Captain and this kid |
