There's a blanket soaked with rum down there In the bottom of the boat And a tree five hundred yards away Wears initials that I wrote And that island right there to the north Is where I camped when I was young J.D., Moose, and Hans, and me Fireworks and guns And I swim out to the jetty in the middle of the night And I scream on top of those big black rocks As the sky bursts into light So hoist the sails of sunken ships And play that dead man's card I live here in this great Cape Fear In the honor of the guard Well, the winds blow off the water As I ease back in my chair My beer tastes cold as the clouds unfold And the rain fills up this air Yeah, for centuries my families Have fished and worked this land And they make me whole Their bone and soul in every grain of sand And I swim out to the jetty in the middle of the night Two hundred years of conquered fears To make me watertight Letras de cancionesSo I hoist the sails of dead men's ships And toast to lives too hard 'Cause I live here in this great Cape Fear In the honor of the guard Well, this town, it's growing way too fast There's more here everyday New Hollywood, Las Vegas, Or at least that's what they say And the traffic's getting stupid And the trees all get cut down And me? I pray for hurricanes So developers will drown And I swim out to the jetty in the middle of the night And one day that riptide's gonna fill my lungs It's gonna pull me out of sight And I'll hoist the sails of Blackbeard's ships I'll set course by phosphorous stars I live and die right here in this great Cape Fear In the honor of the guard From Letras Mania
