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
