  • 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 lookin' good
    And I 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
    Well I don't play the lottery
    Right now's all I've got going
    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 das
    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 gonna live while I can
    And take each day as it comes

    So I don't buy green bananas
    I don't play the lottery
    Right now's all I've got goin'
    Yea 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
    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 Writer/s: Jimmy Ritchey, Joshua Ryan Owen, Robert Joseph Regan
