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
