Let the captain take you home
Pack it up and you will be gone
May get warmer in the bed
Never be left here alone

Grab a blanket rest your head
Shift around in your so called bed
Cause tonight I'm your captain
I'll hold your life inside my hands

Ride along these empty streets
Winds blowing, no shoes on my feet
Crazy life fueled by crazy dreams
And all along you were waiting for me
The captain
Oh the captain

Let the captain take you home
Fend away those sticks and stones
Mold your life the best I can
Cause soon you'll be out on your own

Sleep between us in the bed
Guess well stay in memphis instead
Cause for now I am your captain
I hold your life inside my hands

Ride along these empty streets
Winds blowing no shoes on my feet
Crazy life fueled by crazy dreams
And all along you were waiting for me
The captain
Oh the captain
Oh the captain
Oh the captain yeah
The captain
Oh the captain
Waiting for your captain
Waiting for your captain
