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 ain't 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 don't buy green bananas

I don't play the lottery

Right now's all I've got goin'

Yeah, and that's just fine for me



And I don't own an umbrella

If it rains I'm gonna get wet

So I don't buy green bananas

'Cause I don't plan that far ahead



It ain't 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

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

Take each day as it comes



So I don't buy green bananas

I don't play the lottery

Right now is all I've got goin'

Yeah and that's just fine for me



And I don't own an umbrella

If it rains I'm gonna get wet

And I don't buy green bananas

'Cause I don't plan that far ahead



I don't own an umbrella

If it rains I'm gonna get wet

And I don't buy green bananas

'Cause I don't plan that far ahead
