Pirate Ship Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

From the big rig double 10" lp 

A half hour out on the trail 

The pirate ship bailey had hardly set sail 

When the finest in law said we're outta control, 

They cuffed me and threw me in jail 

It just doesn't get any better, 

There isn't a captain there's only a crew 

The storms we weather together, 

The places we've been and the things that we do 

Well in italy someone stabbed joe 

Morale on the ship it had sunk mighty low 

Stitches in place he was back on the bass 

And we only missed one fishbone show! 

And it just doesn't get any better, 

There isn't a captain there's only a crew 

The storms we weather together, 

The places we've been and the things that we do 

Trips to, st louis, lawrence, and austin 

San diego, atlanta and don't forget boston 

We travel and travel and we start to unravel 

Chewing up pavement and spittin' out gravel 

Sometimes the shit hits the fan 

And sometimes the shit it gets way out of hand 

Sure it's berserk but it beats honest work 

And it's great work to get if you can! 

Who knows where we're headed next? 

Not sure if anyone checked 

The only thing I know is wherever we go 

We leave the place thoroughly wrecked (2x) 

Travel, travel, we're starting to unravel 

As we travel down the road, we'reready to explode 

Keep the spirits up with a smile, 

As we walk another mile, cause when the journey ends, 

We'll still be the best of friends
