Guys Named Captain

Guys named Captain are always charactersLivin' by the water somewhere in the AmericasSouth or Central, or some Virgin IslandBarefoot and sun-kissed, always smilin'Guys named Captain aren't haters, they're loversLivin' life large, but largely undercoverDive bars and cocktails, waitresses and tall talesChasin' the sun, run aground or full sail likeCaptain Outrageous and Captain TonyA painter and a sailor, old Key West croniesFloatin' on the breeze, the salt of the seaOrnery, tattooed, and laughin'Guys named CaptainCasanovas and entrepreneursFull of bravado, that's half the allureThe wink of the eye, a shadowy pastLaugh lines from blowin' smoke up your glassLike Captain Blind, Captain KidMutiny on the Bounty, loose cannons in the windBuccaneers with nothing to fearHe'll go down with the ship, last man standin'Guys named CaptainGuys named Captain have sons and daughtersFlesh and blood, like my fatherCaptain Vick, who played the mandolinAnd when they're gone, man, you miss themGuys named CaptainGuys named Captain
