Just curious. I"m a major Jimmy Buffett fan. Contemplating trying to buy some overpriced tix right now.

A Pirate Looks At Forty

By: Jimmy Buffett

1974

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 switch from sails to steam

And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen

Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder

I'm an over-forty victim of fate

Arriving too late, arriving 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 pissed 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', got to go fishin'

Down to rock bottom again

Just a few friends, just a few friends

(instrumental)

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile

Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day

Still could manage to smile

Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found

My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around

I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Coda:

I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Just came back from the Tampa show - lots of old stuff this time - a nice change of pace and a terrific show. The 8 hour tailgate party didn't hurt none either...

I listened to it live on Radio Margaritaville. Excellent show. Love all the old stuff getting mixed in.

I may see Jimmy in Chicago also as my bil works security for alot of the area concerts.

And of course half the reason we go is for the tailgating.
