Everything I learned about life I learned out on that bank
From getting up early, coming up empty
And good things come to those who wait
Money doesn't grow on trees
The difference in talking and shooting the breeze
I remember thinking, wouldn't it be cool
To have an old flat bottom and an ebb and rune
And daddy saying, son, don't they fight just fine right here
He'd say, love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't
And just about then that barber was sinking
That outboard tree
My mind would disappear
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
Too broke for a boat
He could have picked up an extra shift
Or a weekend at the factory
But every Sunday was saved for Jesus
And Saturdays he spent with me
Until that summer would fall
I didn't know he had it all
I remember thinking, wouldn't it be cool
To have an old flat bottom and an ebb and rune
And daddy saying, son, don't they fight just fine right here
He'd say, love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't
And just about then that barber was sinking
That outboard tree
My mind would disappear
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
Too broke for a boat
Too broke for a boat
guitar solo
bass solo
guitar solo
keyboard solo




I remember thinking wouldn't it be cool to have an old flat bottom in 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 barber 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
