Lyrics
Broken hearted pirate wonders into a bar
Broken-hearted pirate enters a bar
Guitar on his back as he rambles on
Carrying a guitar on his back, he talks aimlessly
Sings his tune to the tender lady
Sings his song to the bar's female server
Steps on stage and begins playing
Goes on stage and starts playing music
Bartender bartender pour me a drink
Repeated request to the bartender for a drink
Bartender bartender pour me a drink
-Bartender bartender pour me a drink
-A drink
-Ooo bartender bartender pour me a drink
Continued plea for a drink, explains leaving a sinking ship
I had to jump ship cause it started to sink
Expresses truth and reasons for leaving
I speak you the truth
Asserts honesty
I hope you can see
Hopes for understanding
I lost my home and all my booty
Lost home and possessions
Yeah my life is an ocean of nothingness
Describes life as an empty ocean
So may I sing you a tune
Requests to share a song
My pockets are weak yet my soul is strong
Despite financial struggles, spirit remains strong
What do you have to lose
Asks what one has to lose
Maybe your job over a glass of booze
Suggests risking a job for a drink
But once your boss hears me they'll pour me up two
Anticipates getting two drinks when the boss hears the story
All of the things that I've been through
Reflects on challenging experiences
You'll wish that you never knew
Listeners may regret knowing the hardships
My heart is lost at sea no longer on my sleeve
Metaphorically states a guarded heart
So can't you see I need a drink
Requests a drink, emphasizes the need
Won't pour me one up please
Asks the bartender to pour a drink
Pour me one then pour four more
Asks for more drinks until reaching the limit
And don't stop pouring til I hit the floor
-My heart and brain are covered in sores
Emotionally and mentally worn
No longer want the pain anymore
Rejects further pain
I'm washed at shore
Symbolically washed ashore
Ooo bartender bartender pour me a drink
Repetition of the plea for drinks
Bartender bartender pour me a drink
-Bartender bartender pour me a drink
-A drink
-I sunk into the abyss
Expresses sinking into despair
Don't know if I can make it
Doubts ability to endure
Floating on surface never felt so naked
Feels vulnerable on the surface
I wanna be skinny dipping in the ocean off a private island
Desires carefree moments on a private island
While the sun is rising over the horizon
Picturesque scene with a rising sun
I'm reminded by the sight of everything
Reflects on life's beauty
Blinded by the lights that heaven brings
Blinded by heavenly lights
The darkest times feel like hell as well
Dark times feel like hell
Get lost and I start circling
Feels lost and trapped in a cycle
So bartender bartender bartender please
Repeated plea for a drink with gratitude
Won't you pour me up a drink
-Thank you
Expresses thanks for the drink
