Pirate Song

I wish I was a pirate ship right down in Mexico

Where the oceans turn to silver and the beaches turn to gold

I'd make love to some señorita in that town

But I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean 'round

I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag

Runnin' for no reason and no reason to turn back

The salt 'n' rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn

Laughin' in the devil's face and ridin' out the storm

Ooh, one of these days?

Gonna get off of this highway

Wake up in some bay

With the sunshine on my face

St. Christopher on a silver chain

Say a prayer, sail away

Ooh, one of these days?

Gonna get off of this highway

Wake up in some bay

With the sunshine on my face

St. Christopher on a silver chain

Say a prayer, sail away

I wish I was a pirate on some ghost ship in the night

With nothing but the stars, the moon and faith to be my guide

Steady as she goes, with my back to the wind

And in a cloud of cannon smoke I disappear again
