Lyric The Captain And The Kid ( In Albume Havaña Daydreamin )

By: Jimmy Buffett
1975
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
