Walkin' the Plank Lyrics

Me & the captain are on a night out
Picked up a fifth gonna cure my drought
Face Down & Bottoms up
I got nothing to lose, gonna press my luck

‘Cause you left me lying on my belly like a snake
And this time I’ve had all I’m gonna take from you, yeah

Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I Don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank 1 time

Winter’s blowing cold & I can’t take the heat in the kitchen
Melting me like ice, all the seams of my life need stitching
But I won’t be crawling like a snail in the dirt
And this time tomorrow’s gonna kick you where it hurts yeah, yeah

Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I Don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank tonight, yeah

Lead

(I said) Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank tonight, yeah
Hard Times
Don’t Mind
Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank yeah, yeah
I’m over the edge I said,
I don’t Mind – just wanna fill it, I’m gonna fill it
Hard Times – got me walkin’ the plank
Hard Times – I don’t know how much I can take
Hard Times – I’m over the edge I said
Hard Times got me walkin’ the plank

Me & the captain are on a night out
Picked up a fifth gonna cure my drought 
Face Down & Bottoms up
I got nothing to lose, gonna press my luck

‘Cause you left me lying on my belly like a snake
And this time I’ve had all I’m gonna take from you, yeah

Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I Don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank 1 time

Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I Don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank tonight, yeah

(I said) Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank
I don’t Mind – just wanna fill up my tank tonight, yeah
Hard Times 
Don’t Mind 
Hard Times – have got me walkin’ the plank yeah, yeah
I’m over the edge I said, 
I don’t Mind – just wanna fill it, I’m gonna fill it
Hard Times – got me walkin’ the plank
Hard Times – I don’t know how much I can take
Hard Times – I’m over the edge I said 
Hard Times got me walkin’ the plank

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Music was written by guitar player 'The Skank', who also penned the lion's share of the lyrics inspired by his go to drink of the time 'Captain Morgan's Rum'. The song talks about working hard labor all day trying to support a family & dealing with it by drinking copious amounts of Captain & Coke.

"Me & the Captain are on a night out. Picked up a fifth, gonna cure my drought" Bottoms up!
