Guys Named Captain

[Verse 1] Guys named Captain are always characters Livin' by the water somewhere in the Americas South or Central, or some Virgin Island Barefoot and sun-kissed, always smilin' [Verse 2] Guys named Captain aren't haters, they're lovers Livin' life large, but largely undercover Dive bars and cocktails, waitresses and tall tales Chasin' the sun, run aground or full sail like [Chorus] Captain Outrageous and Captain Tony A painter and a sailor, old Key West cronies Floatin' on the breeze, the salt of the sea Ornery, tattooed, and laughin' Guys named Captain [Verse 3] Casanovas and entrepreneurs Full of bravado, that's half the allure The wink of the eye, a shadowy past Laugh lines from blowin' smoke up your glass [Chorus] Like Captain Blind, Captain Kid Mutiny on the Bounty, loose cannons in the wind Buccaneers with nothing to fear He'll go down with the ship, last man standin' Guys named Captain [Chorus] Guys named Captain have sons and daughters Flesh and blood, like my father Captain Vick, who played the mandolin And when they're gone, man, you miss them Guys named Captain [Outro] Guys named Captain
