Pirate Flag

Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,

Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.

Moonshine, that's where they make it,

Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.

But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night

And took it all the way to the end of the line.

Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand

What a long strange trip

I spent my whole life running around

Still let the wind kinda blow me around

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

To a long-legged model

And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

A pirate flag and an island girl

Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind

Take a sip of rum and you really would know why

Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table

Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able

Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"

But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail

Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance

And she loves to dance

I spent my whole life running around

Still let the wind kinda blow me around

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

To a long-legged model

And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

A pirate flag and an island girl

Pirate flag and an island girl

Well I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon

Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good

But here we are in a local bar and drinkin' shooting stars

I might spend my whole life running around

Still let the wind kinda blow me around

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

To a long-legged model

And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

A pirate flag and an island girl
