Grow Bananas - Greensky Bluegrass

There’s no work to be found, everybody’s higher on the ground

Since the jobs all went abroad across the sea

Well the union trumped the unions, now the little guy is frozen

We’re not standin' in the streets with signs anymore, what the hell for?

You know what I mean is, can’t say in pan handle country

Grow bananas in another land, and ease the travelin' through

What Hartford said wasn’t true, they all know what you do

Chuck says it’s all downhill since Hoover

Traps and trees can be enough to eat, nobody’s neighbors got to cheat

Or steal another gallon of that Texas tea, black gold that is

You know what I mean is, I can’t say in pan handle country

Grow bananas in another land, and ease the travelin' through

Who can copyright tomatoes, stop the medicine where it grows

Maybe corporate farmers will sell it over the counter

I heard a tropic breeze is nicer, nothin' tastes like curried lobster

Some people run away from democracy, to be more free

You know what I mean is, can’t say in pan handle country

Grow bananas in another land, and ease the travelin' through

Grow bananas in another land, and ease the travelin' through
