you're the captain

Singer:38 special

i'd crawl a mile

i'd climb the highest hill. to bring you back to

a life that's real

you burned your mind out

with your foolish games

may you lie there helpless

will you ever be the same. you're the captain

the leader of your ship. don't get captured

cause you just might never quit. you're the captain

i hope you realize

don't be a fool

better open up your eyes. i've traveled this world

i've seen most of it. i've seen the best ones

go down with the ship. fortune and fame

they don't mean a thing. when you're hooked on junk

that's your only game. you're the captain

the leader of your ship. don't get captured

cause you just might never quit. you're the captain

i hope you realize

don't be a fool

better open up your eyes. just a part of life

that we all must go through. gettin' high with friends

was all in being cool. hope you never see

this misery. a prisoner by drugs

with no right to be free. you're the captain

the leader of your ship. don't get captured

cause you just might never quit. you're the captain

i hope you realize

don't be a fool

better open up your eyes. you're the captain

the leader of your ship. don't get captured

cause you just might never quit. you're the captain

i hope you realize

don't be a fool

better open up your eyes.
