[Jimmy Buffett - The Captain and the Kid lyrics]

I never used to miss the chance
To climb up on his knee
Listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
We'd go sailin' back on barkentines and
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 ought to be
With one hand on the starboard rail
He's wavin' back at me

I never used to miss the chance
To climb up on 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
