A Pirate Looks At Forty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A Pirate Looks At Forty" is a song by Jimmy Buffett. It was first released on his 1974 album A1A.
The song contains the bittersweet confession of a modern-day pirate as he looks back on the first 40 years and his life and ponders his future:
Yes, I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder
There's nothing to plunder
I'm an over 40 victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
The song is one of Buffett's more popular, and is part of "The Big 8" that he has played at all his concerts with a few exceptions.[citation needed]
Jack Johnson has also been known to cover this song in many of his smaller concerts.
