For The Love Of Gold Lyrics

Eric Dawkins For The Love Of Gold

[Verse 1]
No, I'm not the scoundrel I appear to be
I'm  just a sailor and occasional thief
I'm  the finest captain there'll ever be
The open sea, she's calling me, ah

[Chorus]
The pirate's life is the life I chose
I  do what's right for the love of gold
(Hey,  hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
A  pirate's heart beats in time
To the ocean's roll, we toe the time
And the wind, she blows
And the rum, she flows
And  the ship, she flies
'Cause the captain knows, hey
The pirate's life is the life we chose
We do what's right for the love of gold

[Verse 2]
I wil confess I've turned the tide (He's turned the tide)
The greater good will be my prize (Be my prize)
Do what I can to neutralize
Really bad guys (Wait, what?)
Surprise, surprise
Haha, haha

[Chorus]
The pirate's life is the life I chose
We spill a little blood if the truth be told
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
A pirate's heart beats in time
To the smack of the oars on the stormy brine
When the wind, she blows
And the rum, she flows (Flows)
And the ship, she flies
'Cause the captain knows (Knows)
The pirate's life is the life we chose
And we will fight for the love of gold
For the love of gold
