Guys Named Captain - Kenny Chesney

Guys named Captain are, always characters

Livin' by the water, somewhere in the Americas

South or Central, or some Virgin Island

Barefoot and sun-kissed, always smilin'

Guys named Captain aren’t haters, they’re lovers

Livin' life large, but largely undercover

Dive bars and cocktails, waitresses and totems

Chasin' the sun, run aground a fossil like

Captain Outrageous, and Captain Tony

I paint around a sailor, hope he was cronys

Floatin' on the breeze, the salt of the sea

Henry, tattooed and laughin'

Guys named Captain

Casanovas and entrepreneurs

Full of bravado, that’s half the allure

The wink of the eye, a shadow we past

Lifelines from blowin' smoke up your glass

Like Captain Bligh, Captain Kidd

Mutiny on the bounty, loose cannons in the wind

Buccaneers, with nothing to fear

Who go down with the ship, last man standin'

Guys named Captain

Guys named Captain have, sons and daughters

Flesh and blood, like my father

Captain Vick, who played the mandolin

And when they’re gone, man you miss them

Guys named Captain
