I'm a Standup Man I stand alone
All my so called friends are still back home
They sold me out to the G-man to be free
Set my sails, let my spirit be
I'll be doin time from day to day
While all my so-called friends have run away
Hell, they brought me down, brought me to my knees
Prison is the next place I will see
A Fisherman, my life at sea
A smuggler I just had to be
Times were hard through the seventies
Set my sail….set this pirate free
I'm doing my time, I do it well
All my so called friends can go to hell
Tell your snitches, this pirate will be free
I'm the Captain, and I will sail this sea
A Fisherman, my life at sea
A smuggler I just had to be
Times were hard through the seventies
Set my sail….this pirate free
A Fisherman, my life at sea
A smuggler I just had to be
Times were hard through the seventies
Set my sail….This pirate will be free
I'm a Standup Man I stand alone
All my so called friends are still back home
They sold me out to the G-man to be free
Set my sails, let my spirit be
I'm a stand up man, I stand alone
