The Captain Lyrics
And you be the Captain
And I'll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you're The Captain, I am no-one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
Well I have handed all my efforts in
I searched here for my second wind
Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked
So I slammed the dorrs they slammed on me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last
And you be the Captain
And I'll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you're The Captain, I am no-one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
Did I forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn't tried I tend to runaway and hide
And you be the Captain
And I'll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you're The Captain, I am no-one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you...to you
You're the The Captain, I am no-one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you....to you
'Cos you're The Captain, and I am no-one,
And I owe one, to you

Is it me or does the above comment confuse the hell out of you?!??? This is one of my favorite songs of Kaseys. This and "Not Pretty Enough". I recommend downloading this, her voice is incredible and the rthyms are smooth.
The first Kasey song I ever heard, and Ive loved it since day 1... It means heaps, and since im a dumb blonde teenager I cant explain it =/
the captain is a pretty deadly song the song is actually about one of kaseys real life friends whos name was kurt monghetti. her and her boyf went to visit him, and her boyfs dad rang up and he answered the phone as kurt monghetti, wehn her boyf got on the fone he said " who the f*** is captain eddy" the song is basically about kasey wanting kurt to be in the spotlight more than her
yeah this song is shit-hot! this and we're all gonna die fully rock, man! i am so totally getting into country and i can't help it...
I think this song pretty much describes when you're in a relationship with someone you love very much but feel like you're interrupting this person's life just because you're in it, so you just feel guilty for the fact that the other person is not as "happy" as you...
I disagree with the above comments, but that's what makes it fun. I think it sounds sarcastic. The man in question is selfish and needs everything to be about him, so the girl is sort of like "Yeah, sure, I'll let you run my life." I find it to be very passive-aggressive and bitter.
Kasey Chambers is a leading Australian female country artist with a unique voice. The meaning of her songs can be found at aussie-country.com
I have listened to this song over and over again and it finally hit me. "The Captain" is Jesus.
Just letting you know 'The Captain' is not jesus... It's one of her best mates..
