Pirates Cove - David Lee Murphy

The lake at night is still and black

The water’s smooth like polished glass

You’ve heard the tales so it’s time to go

Gonna take you back into pirates cove

Got a sure ol' horse Evinrude

And a 12 foot Jon boat to carry the brew

A couple of steaks and a big ol' knife

My old ghost is comin' back to life

You could say I know the way by heart

Through the stumps and in the dark

There’s one way in and that’s by boat

That’ll get you back into pirates cove

A trail of smoke curls though the trees

Fire down low and there ain’t no breeze

Just the cottonmouths and the copperheads

And for some strange reason I fit in

You could say I know the way by heart

Through the stumps and in the dark

There’s one way in and that’s by boat

That’ll get you back into pirates cove

Well it’s a different world when you get back here

The dancin' shadows disappear

The memories they’ll come and go

Someday I’ll stay in pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart

Through the stumps and in the dark

There’s one way in and that’s by boat

That’ll get you back into pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart

Through the stumps and in the dark

There’s one way in and that’s by boat

That’ll get you back into pirates cove
