retirement song lyrics

 

Retirement Song |The Longest John |
 

I've been roaming all my life and now I've found a lady wife
I'm staying, right here!
Oh I won't go sailing any more I won't obey the ocean's call
By I'm staying, right here!

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

At 14 I was cabin boy to fearsome Captain Buck Leroy
I'm staying, right here!
When I was sick he ordered cat 'o nine, until I said that I felt fine
I'm staying, right here!

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

At 20 I manned our crow's nest and captain said I was the best
I'm staying right here!
But I nearly lost my eyes to God just looking' out for old Cape Cod
I'm staying right here!

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

At 25 no man alive could match my skill for gunning'
I'm staying right here!
But the Captain he got drunk one night and sank the blasted cannon
I'm staying right here!

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

Captain died at twenty eight and by then I was his first mate
I'm staying, right here!
Well they tried to give me his command but I was hungry for the land
I'm staying, right here!

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

Stepped ashore at Felixstowe and made for Bristol by the road
I'm staying, right here!
Well I fell in love when first I saw her
Avon County's finest daughter

And now she's got me staying right here (a-way!)

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

I'll be a man of the land
I'll be a man of the trees
I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
I won't be any captain's mate
I won't be servant of the seas
'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need

Bee Gees|Stayin' Alive Lyrics

Bee Gees|Stayin' Alive Lyrics Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around since I was born. And now it's all right. It's OK. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand The New York Times' effect on man. Whether you're a brother Or whether you're a mother, You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Feel the city breakin' And everybody shakin', And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive. Well, now, I get low and I get high, And if I can't get either, I really try. Got the wings of heaven on my shoes. I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose. You know it's all right. It's OK. I'll live to see another day. We can try to understand The New York Times' effect on ...

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) lyrics - Green Day

  Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) lyrics Green Day Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time I hope you had the time of your life Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial For what it's worth it was worth all the while I hope you had the time of your life I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right So take the photographs and still frames in your mind It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right It's something unpredictable, but in the end, it's right.

The Eagles Hotel California Lyrics

The Eagles Hotel California Lyrics On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinkin' to myself 'This could be heaven or this could be hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the Mercedes Benz, uh She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the Captain "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We ...
