ABOUT THE MOVIE
A passion and desire to ignite his career is now fueled by his love and devotion to his family. Guided by faith, country, and a deep commitment to his Native American roots, this is an intimate look into the life of an extraordinary American.
This is not a reality show. It is a film of one man's personal and professional journey, through the alluring, unpredictable, exciting, chaotic and sometimes cruel world of the music industry, all the while attempting to remain true to his family, his faith and his music.
Truth is stranger than fiction. As a founding member of Grand Funk Railroad, he achieved stardom by the age of 20. With a music career that spans over 40 years and over 30 million records sold, he's lived the American dream and experienced the nightmares that followed.
For anyone who grew up in the 70's, the name Mark Farner resides alongside some of the most iconic names in rock music. With rare clips, live performances and a host of rock stars and friends appearing in the film, Farner journeys to take his rightful place in rock history. Upon its release, "I'm Your Captain - The Mark Farner Story" will be a 60 minute documentary, released theatrically worldwide prior to its PBS Broadcast, in 2013.

LYRICS;
Did you ever have that feeling in your life, that someone was watching you?
He dont have no reason, thats right. but, still hes there watching you.
Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away.
Everybody knows just what hes there for, to take you away.
But, you dont know why hes been waiting.
But, you dont know why hes been waiting.
Spent too much time anticipating.
Spent too much time anticipating.
Did you ever think it could be you, thats just outside the door?
Theres just one way to find out if its true. so, what you waiting for?
Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad.
If theres no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad.
But, who wasnt there that you should look out for?
But, who wasnt there that you should look out for?
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door.
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door.
You dont have nobody, dont need nobody, cant love nobody,
Youre better off by yourself.
You aint feelin too bad, youre driving me mad, and say youre bad,
Youre better off by yourself.
You dont have nobody, dont need nobody, cant love nobody,
Youre better off by yourself.
You aint feelin too bad, youre driving me mad, and say youre bad,
Youre better off by yourself.
Ahhhhh ...
