I'm Your Captain / Closer To Home Lyrics - Grand Funk Railroad

Everybody listen to me 

And return me, my ship 

I'm your captain, I'm your captain 

Though I'm feeling mighty sick 

I've been lost now, days uncounted 

And it's months since I've seen home 

Can you hear me, can you hear me 

Or am I all alone? 

If you return me to my home port 

I will kiss you, mother Earth 

Take me back now, take me back now 

To the port of my birth 

Am I in my cabin dreaming 

Or are you really scheming 

To take my ship away from me 

You'd better think about it 

I just can't live without it 

So please don't take 

My ship from me 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

I can feel the hand of a stranger 

And it tightening around my throat 

Heaven help me, heaven help me 

Take this stranger, from my boat 

I'm your captain, I'm your captain 

Though I'm feeling mighty sick 

Everybody, listen to me 

And return me, my ship 

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm getting closer to my home 

I'm getting closer to my home
