The Captain

Well I don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I've kicked myself at times because I lie
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
Tell 'em I won't be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide
(CHORUS)
You be the captain
And I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cause your the captain I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe to you
To you
Well I have handed all my efforts in
Searched here for my second win
Deserve somewhere here to let me in i asked
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last
(CHORUS)
Did I forget to thank you
for the ride
I hadn't tried
I tend to run away and hide
(CHORUS)
'Cause your the captain I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
'Cause your the captain
I am no one
and i owe one
to you
