Green Bananas Lyrics by Jake Owen

Easy Does It

2009

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
So I don't buy green bananas
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 going to get wet
So I don't buy green bananas
Because I don't plan that far ahead
[Verse 2]
It isn't the same on these hot summer days
When I'm out here fishing 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
[Chorus]
So I don't buy green bananas
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 going to get wet
So I don't buy green bananas
Because I don't plan that far ahead
[Outro]
And I don't own an umbrella
If it rains I'm going to get wet
And I don't buy green bananas
Because I don't plan that far ahead
