Pirate Song

[Verse 1]
I wish I was a pirate ship wrecked 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
Then I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean 'round

[Verse 2]
I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag
Runnin' for no reason and no reason to turn back
Salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
Laughin' in the devil's face, ridin' out a storm

[Chorus]
Ooh, one of these days
Gonna get off of this highway
Wake up in some bay
With sunshine on my face
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Ooh, one of these days
Gonna get off of this highway
Wake up in some bay
With sunshine on my face
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away

[Verse 3]
I wish I was a pirate on some ghost ship in the night
With nothin' but the stars, the moon, and faith to be my guide
Steady as she goes, with my back to the wind
Then in a cloud of cannon smoke I'd disappear again
