So. What the cap'm did. He strapped a cannon to Bootstrap's bootstraps, and last we saw of Ol' Bill Turner, he was sinking into the crushing, black oblivion of Davvy Jones' locker.
'Course, it was only after that we learned we needed his blood to lift the curse.
That's what you'd call ironic.
*guffawing*
Weekends are for the warriors
All those late nights walking through front doors at daybreak
Raise all, of the glasses high
This one's to all of us sitting around here on Friday night
I remember eighteen
Hated Mondays
And sitting and staring at the clock dying to get away
Don't look back
And have no regrets
We only got two days and time won't wait for u
He had plastic bags wrapped ‘round his shoes
He was covered with the evenin' news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing 5 below
It was freezing rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said, “Old man are you ok?"
He said, “I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home”
Then he said, “I was jus' comin' round the barn
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been"
"Yea I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said, “Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission"
He said,"Boy if you'da left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'da just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home" (Almost Home)
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home
