Lyrics:
(All)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(TJ O'Neill)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(KBong)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream

(Stick Figure)
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

(Johnny Cosmic)
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
It's never meant to last, it's never meant to last

(All)
Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends, with just a few friends

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends

TJ ONeill - Thats the Way the World Goes Round (John Prine Cover)

TJ ONeill 2020-04-21 | Live cover of John Prine's "That's the Way the World Goes Round"

Although John Prine has a vast catalogue of fantastically written and preformed songs I always felt that this one in particular showed best what made him such an appealing song writer to myself and so many others. His ability to show both the humor and brutality of life. Not highlighting just one side or the other. Life is both these things, sometimes humorous and sometimes sad and sometimes both at the same time. John Prine had a unique ability to simplify life in his song lyrics reminding us that the glass isn’t just half empty or half full, it’s both and not only is that ok but it also happens to be way the world goes round. Thanks for everything JP.

Reggae cover of Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks at Forty." We've been jamming this classic song on the tour bus for the past few years so we thought we'd record a studio cover version for y'all!

Lyrics:
(All)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(TJ O'Neill)
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

(KBong)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream

(Stick Figure)
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

(Johnny Cosmic)
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
It's never meant to last, it's never meant to last

(All)
Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
With just a few friends, with just a few friends

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, I got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
Just a few friends, just a few friends
