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
