I'm Your Captain, Closer To Home

Grand Funk Railroad

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

Instrumental

Chorus
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 just 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’s 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
I’m getting closer to my home
I’m getting closer to my home, oh
