Let the captain take you home Pack it up and you'll be gone Make it warmer in the back You'll never be left here alone Grab a blanket and rest your head shift around in your so-called bed 'Cause tonight I am your captain I hold your life inside my hands Ride along these empty streets Wind's blowin, no shoes on my feet Crazy life fueled by crazy dreams and all along, you were waiting for me The Captain Let the captain take you home Fend away those sticks and stones Mold your life the best I can 'Cause soon you'll be on your own Sleep between us in the bed Guess we'll stay in Memphis instead 'Cause for now I am your captain I hold your life in my hands
