Ship In a Bottle

I know jack

And I know Jim

Had my nights with the captain

He'll make an honest man sin

And I remember that night

1:51 A M

He had Johnny walk that plank

And pay for what he did

He said son

You've been through hell and roses

So tonight

I give you the life you've chosen

It ends with need and greed

And Hennessy

All alone in the deep blue sea

Stars like those don't shine for guys like you and me

Well Jim stood up

Said "this ship can't lose a man with heart

The king of Spain is on his way,

And it's time we made our mark

Soon bullets will fly

And tides will rise

One crew left for the sharks

No it won't be us,

We've been through too much"

And he raised his bottle up

And oh the captains eyes

Grew bigger than the ocean

The stars he thought he lost

We're always right below him

Shining off the water

He remembers where his home is

He looked up

And all the crew had held their potions
