Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.

Ive been lost now, days uncounted,
And its months since Ive 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?

Youd better think about it, I just cant live without it.
So, please dont take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And its tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.

Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.

Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Ohhhh ...

Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Repeated to fade

Coming up on 10,000 signatures on our petition to induct GFRxR!

Everyone click link directly above & sign it.

It only takes one minute.

Give GFRxR the respect the critics NEVER gave them.

Think of all the great music these 3 young men gave us from '69-'76.

Oh where Oh where did the old bands go ? Like the flick industry, the music industry has gone to hell. Oh I miss those days.

@JAQUEOBAUER

Real artists with real talent. Singer/Songwriter/Lead Guitar Player/Harp/Keyboards.

Mark Farner was the best front-man ever.IMHO.

@tonymalone501 What?

[NickInDetroit]

@taypar11 Grand Funk definitely belongs, Mott The Hoople (and their 1 or 2 songs of memory) definitely do NOT belong. But, can you POSSIBLY be serious about Queen? Freddy Mercury and Brian May are two of the most prolific rockers, EVER! Don't dis Queen to make your point. This will only diminish your point, which is a good one.

That fact that GFR are not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is the reason the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Queen? Mott The Hoople? Stupid rap bands are in and not GFR. I rest my case. I know Mark Farner personally and we've talked about this. He and his wife Lisa don't care, but I do. Wake up! Put a real ROCK AND ROLL band in your cheesy little hall so you can finally get some credibility.

@indybulldog13 Hard drugs is what they were saying and the CIA was all but mentioned by name as being the ones bringing the hard shit to us. Talk to the creator about any problems you may have about the plants he put here.
