[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
He could've 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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

Luke Bryan

Thomas Luther “Luke” Bryan was born July 17, 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia, to Tommy and LeClaire Watkins Bryan. His parents also raised him in Leesburg. At age 14, his parents bought him his first guitar, and after learning to play it, he joined various local bands and began to play in local clubs. After graduating Lee County High School, Bryan planned to move to Nashville, Tennessee; however, this move was delayed, due to the death of his brother, Chris, in a car accident, on the same day he planned to leave. Luke attended Georgia Southern University, and is a member of the Eta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. After graduation Luke went to work for his dad, despite everyone encouraging him to move to Tennessee. His dad encouraged him to relocate and he arrived in Nashville in 2001, signing a record deal only two months later. The 6'01/2" singer-songwriter married Caroline Boyer on December 8, 2006. The couple have two sons. Thomas “Bo” Boyer Bryan was born March 18, 2008 and Tatum “Tate” Christopher Bryan was born August 11, 2010. Luke’s nephew Tilden “Til” Cheshire also lives with the Bryan’s, after his mother (Luke’s older sister, Kelly) died in 2007 and his father died in 2014. Among the songs Luke is known for are “Drunk on You” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby”.
