I went sailing on my pirate ship      Looking out for number one      I didn't know what I was searching for      But stealing booty sounded fun      I killed a man whod spent his life      seeking pleasure in the sun      but he told me with his dying breath      theres more to life than having fun            and i had      Rum Running through my bloodstream      captain sailing through the rain      in the ocean on my pirate ship      just chasing after the wind            (whistle)            So I bought a farm down in carribean      with the spoils that i won      I had more gold than the king of spain      growing sugar in the sun      drinking rum with the govoner      he shook my hand and i thought i'd won      but he told me      don't let money steal your life away      you can't spend it when your gone            and i had      rum running through my blood stream      captain sailing through the rain      in my mansion, a wealthy man      still chasing after the wind            so i went sailing on my merchant ship      looking for answers over there      i didn't know what i was searching for      but there was revolution in the air      i met a scholar and a wise old man      as he lay dying in the street      but all his knowledge didn't help him as      he shed his life blood on my feet            but i had rum running in my bloodstream      captain sailing through the rain      skilled in science and philosophy      just chasing after the wind....
