Jimmy Buffett - The Captain And The Kid

Jimmy Buffett

The Captain And The Kid

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

Mirror lyrics:

And this kid
For the captain

For the captain and the kid
The world was just a day away
Talk of things he did
We'd go sailin' back on barkentines

Of life upon the sea
Listen to his many tales
To climb upon his knee
I never used to miss the chance

He's wavin' back at me
With one hand on the starboard rail
A place he outta be
He's somewhere on the ocean now

To love a man so rare
And though I cried I was so proud
While winter filled the air
He died about a month ago

The course his heart still steered
That's when I came to understand
Wiser with our years
We both were growin' older then

Although he tried so hard
He never could adjust to land
To rakin' mom's backyard
His world had gone from sailin' ships

For the captain and the kid
Tomorrow just a day away
An' talk of things he did
We'd go sailin' back on barkentines

Of life upon the sea
Listen to the many tales
To climb upon his knee
I never used to miss the chance
