(In case you can't tell, this is about pirates...)

[Verse 1:]

In my journey for independence,
All my crew, they were in attendance,
But now they’re lost.

I can’t begin to count the theories
I’ve had pounding in my head
Of how they’re gone.

Might’ve left with someone Spanish
In a frilly yellow dress.
Now I still need some sailors,
Only just the best.

[Chorus:]

Come on in boy, sit on down
And tell me ‘bout yourself.
Wanna be a pirate, do ya now?
Yeah, we think it’s something else.

We sail ‘round the world,
We knock up girls,
While we search for gold;
That’s what we’ll get,
Ain’t it son?
Now y’all come ‘long, let’s have some fun

Me, I’ll be in the way back,
Bet I’ll be up all night
Still drinking this rum.

[Verse 2:]

Well, now I’m at a harbor.
And if you’re trying to make a dollar,
Just come find,
The captain that I’m known to be,
Who seems to have just one thing on his mind.

I’m moving fast,
It won’t be long before
I’m off to find some priceless gold,
So come knock on my door.

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]

Now I gotta go,
Gonna find somebody to hurt.
It’s just a pirate thing, but hey, believe me
S’got its perks

[Repeat Chorus]
"Blah blah blah. You feel trapped in your life. Here is what I am hearing: happiness isn't worth any inconvenience."

Hahaha! I loved this! I thought you did a good job. Me being a fan of pirates and of Rodney Atkins, I think this is a great song. I could just picture Captain Jack Sparrow actually like acting to this song.... O.O Anyways, I thought you made it fit with the beat and when I listened to the song while reading these lyrics they fit together perfectly. Great job! :D
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you,
and hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole... as you flew right through me.

HAHAHA. I loved it! I love the original song, but you just made it hysterical! I wonder what inspired you to redo the song in a pirate theme? I bet the people who created pirates of the Caribbean would love to use this song! Keep on writing please! -Jalmoc
