I wish I was a pirate shipwreck down in Mexico Where the oceans turn to silver and the beaches turn to gold I'd make love to some senorita in that town I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean round I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag Running for no reason and no reason to turn back The salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn Laughing in the devil's face, riding out the storm Ooh, one of these days Gonna get off of this highway Wake up in Sun Bay With the sunshine on my face Saint Christopher on a silver chain Say a prayer and sail away Ooh, one of these days Gonna get off of this highway Wake up in Sun Bay With the sunshine on my face Saint Christopher on a silver chain Say a prayer and sail away I wish I was pirate on some gold ship in the night With nothing but the stars, the moon and faith to be my guide Steady as she goes with my back to the wind Let a cloud of cannon smoke, I disappear again
