this old boat kept us afloat

all those years on the lake

I remember that day I heard my best friend say

this is probably the last trip I'll make,

cause the doctors are saying it aint looking good

and they doubt that I'll make it to spring

and it's a hell of a note

when you never know what tomorrow might bring

so I dont buy green bananas

I dont play the lottery

right now's all I've got goin'

and that's just fine for me

and I dont own an umbrella

if it's rains I'm gonna get wet

so I dont buy green bananas

cause I dont plan that far ahead

it aint the same on these hot summer days

when I'm out here fishin alone

well sometimes I might get a few bites

but then there's days that I don't

so I just roll with the flow
and I rock with the waves

catch me some rays from the sun

and like my friend said
I'm going to live while I can,

take each day as it comes

so I dont buy green bananas

I dont play the lottery

right now is all I've got goin'

and that's just fine for me

and I dont own an umbrella

if it's rains I'm gonna get wet

and I dont buy green bananas
cause I dont plan that far ahead

I dont own an umbrella

if it's rains I'm gonna get wet

and I don't buy green bananas

cause I don't plan that far ahead
