Hung up the cutlass, buried the maps in the sand
Traded the storms for this soft island land
Swayin' in hammocks, the sunset's shades of pink
Our parrot squawked, “Picasso, WANTS A DRINK!"

Rum in the sunset, love on the breeze
We’re spendin’ our treasure doin’ as we please
No more marauder, no more run
Just her and me and a whole lotta sun
Rum in the sunset, sipping til the day is done
Two old, retired pirates just havin’ some fun

Bought every coconut, rented the tide
She laughs when I brag ‘bout the wild ocean ride
Diamonds for breakfast, laughter for lunch
Picasso complains there's no rum in his punch

REPEAT CHORUS

(BRIDGE)
But one night the wind brought a whisper ashore…
A map in a bottle like the days before
She grinned and said, “One more score!"
Picasso squawked , “Rum, we need more!"

Rum in the sunset, sails back up high
Love and adventure you just can’t buy
No more “retired,” the sea’s callin’ again
With her by my side, I’ll sail ‘til the end
Rum in the sunset, let the next chapter begin
Turns out our forever can be found in the wind

Rum in the sunset, let the next chapter begin
Two old pirates drinking rum, sailing the oceans again
Rum in the sunset, let the next chapter begin
Two old pirates drinking rum, sailing the oceans again
