AliasGraceO'Malley Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 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

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.
