[Verse 1]
C
Everything I learned about life
G
I learned out on that bank
Am
From gettin' up early, comin' up empty
C G
And good things come to those that wait
Am
Money doesn't grow on trees
F
The difference in talking and shootin' the breeze
[Chorus]
C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
F C G
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
C
He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
F G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
Am G F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
F C
Too broke for a boat
[Verse 2]
C
He could've picked up an extra shift
G
Or a weekend at the factory
Am
But every Sunday was saved for Jesus
C G
And Saturdays, he spent with me
Am
'Til that summer would fall
F
I didn't know we had it all
[Chorus]
C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
F C G
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
C
He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
F G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
Am G F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
F C
Too broke for a boat
F C
Too broke for a boat
[Chorus]
C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
F C G
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
C
He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
F G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
Am G F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
F C
Too broke for a boat
F C
Too broke for a boat
