Green Bananas Tab

by Jake Owen


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
                              
Cuz 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
                         
Cuz I don’t 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
                                       
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
                               
Cuz I don’t plan... that far... ahead
