      Country music is just sea shanties for farmers
      Sea Shanties
      I love the sea
      I love my ship
      I love women
      Drinking
      Country songs
      I love 'Murica
      I love my truck
      I love women

    Sounds like a captain boss fight that the captain would be singing whilst fighting you

    A young boy I was barely out of my home
    I stepped to the world with a meaning to roam
    I signed with a captain who promised me gold
    An adventure to quicken the heart of the bold
    For 14-odd years I did struggle alone
    For the cause I worked my fingers down to the bone
    Saw naught but the scuppers saw naught of my pay
    Then was cast off and sent on my way, OHH!
    A curse upon you sorrow fall thick and fast
    Your days have been numbered each hour your last
    May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole...
    And for'er n'er forget what you stole
    I found me some cohorts the bravest and true
    No captain was prouder to call such men crew
    They could rally a cry and the battle was won
    I'd face off a cannon if they but looked on
    The mutinous dogs bound my hands while I slept
    Swapped their honor for treasures and gold that we kept
    Threw me over the side with all kindness I'd shown
    Now I vow to sail always alone, OWW!
    A curse upon you sorrow fall thick and fast
    Your days have been numbered each hour your last
    May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole...
    And for'er n'er forget what you stole
    I met a fair maiden one round upon shore
    I fell for her smile as I'd n'er done before
    I pledged her my world for as long as I lived
    I'd have offered her more if I had more to give
    My pockets she emptied still I offered the rest
    She obliged and then ripped out the heart from my chest
    She set me adrift free to float to world's end
    With a bottle as my only friend, OHH!
    A curse upon you sorrow fall thick and fast
    Your days have been numbered each hour your last
    May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole...
    And for'er n'er forget what you stole
    Now maybe there's some of you wondering hence
    Not all parts of my life fit together with sense
    If these are your thoughts allow me to explain
    Listen close now for I will not say it again
    I curse you yourself with the doubts that you've shown
    For this is my life and I made it my own
    Walk your path and you'll have your own stories in time
    Til' that day I shall drink just to mine, OHH!
    A curse upon you sorrow fall thick and fast
    Your days have been numbered each hour your last
    May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole...
    And for'er n'er forget what you stole.

    To anyone who wants to know the story it’s about a young man (college age) who joined a pirate crew and after 14 years he was loyal and did his part and some for that crew but he was soon cased away. eventually started his own later in life. He was super nice to his crew and would do anything for them but they eventually through him overboard and stole his gold. Then after awhile he meets a woman and he falls in love with her and marries her only for her to steel everything from him and leave. He then resorts to alcohol for his comfort as he lives on the streets and i think thats all of the story pls feel free to add on if u see any else
