The Captain and the Kid

	Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett
	I never used to miss the chance
	To climb upon his knee
	Listen to the many tales
	Of life upon the sea
	We'd go sailin' back on barkentines
	An' talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away
	For the captain and the kid
	His world had gone from sailin' ships
	To rakin' mom's backyard
	He never could adjust to land
	Although he tried so hard
	We both were growin' older then
	Wiser with our years
	That's when I came to understand
	The course his heart still steered
	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
	A place he outta be
	With one hand on the starboard rail
	He's wavin' back at me
	I never used to miss the chance
	To climb upon his knee
	Listen to his many tales
	Of life upon the sea
	We'd go sailin' 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

	Lyrics: Jimmy Buffett Music: Jimmy Buffett
	I never used to miss the chance
	To climb upon his knee
	Listen to the many tales
	Of life upon the sea
	We' d go sailin' back on barkentines
	An' talk of things he did
	Tomorrow just a day away
	For the captain and the kid
	His world had gone from sailin' ships
	To rakin' mom' s backyard
	He never could adjust to land
	Although he tried so hard
	We both were growin' older then
	Wiser with our years
	That' s when I came to understand
	The course his heart still steered
	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
	A place he outta be
	With one hand on the starboard rail

	Talk of things he did
	The world was just a day away
	For the captain and the kid
	For the captain
