For a Boat lyrics

Everything I learned about life I learned out on that bank From gettin' up early, comin' up empty And good things come to those that wait Money doesn't grow on trees The difference in talking, and shootin' the breeze I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here" He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat He coulda picked up an extra shift Or a weekend at the factory But every Sunday was saved for Jesus And Saturdays, he spent with me 'Til that summer would fall I didn't know we had it all I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here" He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat Too broke for a boat I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here" He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat Too broke for a boat
