Everybody,
listen to me,
and return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've been lost now,
days uncounted,
and it's months since,
I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
or am I all alone?
If you return me,
to my home port,
I will kiss you,
mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
to the port, of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming,
or are you really scheming,
to take my ship away from me.
You'd better think about it,
I jsut can't live without it,
so please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can feel the hand,
of a stranger,
and it tightening,
around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
take this stranger, from my boat.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
and return me, my ship,
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm getting closer to my home.
I'm getting closer to my home.

@rematpac Sorry, man. You don't know what you're yapping about. I've seen the original GFR 4 times!! How many times have you seen them? There is no substitute for Mark Farner any more than there is a substitute for Paul McCartney...who I've seen 7 times! There is no Grand Funk without Mark Farner!!! Obviously...you don't "get it!"

@AFAskygoddess Blame Don Brewer and Mel for sticking it to him at the reunion gig in 97'-'98....asked hm to sign some papers that would 'protect the GFR' name...in effect, it stole his right to use the GFR logo in any solo venue. Wtf they would do this to their ''brother' is beyond me...obviously all the idealism of the 60s is gone when you're willing to sell your soul for the almighty dollar...lost my respect for this band and their greed.
