Pirates & Parrots Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another dollar on the wall
Another poet with a pen
Another beach bum with a dog
Another stranger sailin' in
And the water's just as blue
No, you haven't missed a thing
But we're all here missin' you
All the pirates and the parrots sing

[Chorus]
So adios, my friend
Anchor where that ocean ends
We'll pick up where you left off
Strummin' on a sailor song
We'll hold down this salty rock
Where it's always 5 o'clock
When the sun goes down, we raise our drinks
All the pirates and the parrots sing
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Verse 2]
Tell 'еm raise the bridge
Thе drifter's comin' through
There's a golden stretch of beach
That's waitin' there on you
Is the water just as blue?
We wanna hear about everything
But we're all here missin' you
So all the pirates and the parrots sing
[Chorus]
Adios, my friend
Anchor where that ocean ends
We'll pick up where you left off
Strummin' on a sailor song
We'll hold down this salty rock
Where it's always 5 o'clock
When the sun goes down, we raise our drinks
All the pirates and the parrots sing
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Bridge]
Gone too soon, but left a song
Passed a torch to carry on
As long as people sing along
You'll live on and on and on

[Chorus]
So adios, my friend
Anchor where that ocean ends
We'll pick up where you left off
Strummin' on a sailor song
We'll hold down this salty rock
Where it's always 5 o'clock
When the sun goes down, we raise our drinks
All the pirates and the parrots sing
Oh (Oh)
Oh (Oh)
Oh
[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Adios, my friend

Genius Answer

Zac Brown:

I’m so excited for you to hear this song and to pay tribute to Jimmy Buffett. It hit me hard when we found out he was exiting the stage, he was an incredible human being. This is a celebration of his life and all of the people that will remember him through his songs.
