Lyrics
Verse 1
Yo, it's The Captain, story to unfold,
'Bout a young deckhand, brave and bold,
Life on the ship, where the stories are told,
From sunrise to sunset, adventures unfold.
Lil' Johnny's the name, just a kid on the deck,
Learnin' the ropes, earnin' respect,
Scrubbin' them boards, keepin' it in check,
Dreamin' of the day he'd command the wreck.
Chorus
Life of a deckhand, tough and raw,
Scrapin' by hard, livin' by the law,
From dawn till dusk, never withdraw,
Pirate's life, it’s all about the score.
Verse 2
Up before the sun, workin' till it's gone,
Haulin' up the sails, keepin' the ship strong,
In the heat and the cold, pushin' all day long,
Heart of a pirate, learnin' right from wrong.
From the galley to the mast, he knows the drill,
Swabbin' the decks, never standin' still,
With every rough wave, he's learnin' the skill,
Life of a pirate, climbin' up that hill.
Chorus
Life of a deckhand, tough and raw,
Scrapin' by hard, livin' by the law,
From dawn till dusk, never withdraw,
Pirate's life, it’s all about the score.
Bridge
In the night, under stars so bright,
He dreams of battles, tales of might,
From a deckhand’s life, to a captain's flight,
In the heart of the sea, his future's light.
Verse 3
Lil' Johnny’s got the fire, eyes on the prize,
From the captain's orders, to the crew's high fives,
With every challenge met, he starts to rise,
In the pirate’s life, where legends never die.
He knows the ropes, he's got the grit,
From the bottom up, never gonna quit,
In the heart of the storm, he makes his fit,
Deckhand to captain, bit by bit.
Chorus
Life of a deckhand, tough and raw,
Scrapin' by hard, livin' by the law,
From dawn till dusk, never withdraw,
Pirate's life, it’s all about the score.
Outro
So when you hear the tales, remember the start,
Of a young deckhand with a lion's heart,
From swabbin' decks to playin' his part,
In the pirate's life, he made his mark.
