Toes
Zac Brown Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock
And the city's still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
Concrete and cars are their own prison bars
Like this life I'm living in
But the plane brought me farther
I'm surrounded by water
And I'm not going back again
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
And if it weren't for Tequila and pretty senoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play
The four days flew by like a drunk Friday night
As the summer drew to an end
They can't believe that I just couldn't leave
And I bid adieu to my friends
Because my bartender she's from the islands
Her body's been kissed by the sun
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
And I don't know if it's her or the Rum
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Adiós and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Yes, and all the muchachas they call me Big Poppa
When I throw pesos their way
Adiós and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jäger
And I'll grab my guitar and play
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay
The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero
Yeah, I got no money to stay
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay
(Just gonna prop up by the lake)
And put my ass in a lawn chair
Toes in the clay
Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way
Life is good today
Life is good today
The lyrics of "Toes" by Zac Brown Band describe the beauty of life while enjoying a beach vacation. The lyrics beautifully illustrate the experiences of the singer being in the moment and immersed in the soothing experience of being at the beach. The use of phrases such as "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand/ Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand/ Life is good today, life is good today" sets the joyous, relaxed and carefree tone of the song. It portrays a simple yet rejuvenating experience of enjoying the sun, the beach, sea, and sand in the company of friends with a beer and guitar in hand. The song celebrates the working people who go out and make a living and then unwind and take in the good things in life like vacations and time with loved ones.
The second section of the song, starting with "Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock," contrastingly describes the somewhat depressing feeling of leaving the beautiful beach and heading back to ordinary life. The words "Concrete and cars are their own prison bars/ Like this life I'm living in," reflects the mundanity of everyday life and how it can often feel like a prison, but the singer realizes that there is always a beautiful escape in the form of enjoying life with friends and loved ones. The beautiful imagery of the beach is depicted beautifully in this song, which is an uplifting and joyful experience to listen to.

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
I am standing in the water and sitting on the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
I have no concerns or anxiety and I am holding a cold bottle of beer
Life is good today, life is good today
I am enjoying my time and life is good today
Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock
The plane landed around 3 in the afternoon
And the city's still on my mind
I am still thinking about the city
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I am thinking of bikinis and palm trees
I was still in the baggage line
I am still in line waiting for my baggage
Concrete and cars are their own prison bars
Being surrounded by concrete and cars feels like being in prison
Like this life I'm living in
I feel trapped in my current life
But the plane brought me farther

I am surrounded by water
And I'm not going back again
I do not plan to return to my previous location
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Goodbye and go with God
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
I am departing from Georgia
And if it weren't for Tequila and pretty senoritas
If it were not for Tequila and attractive women
I'd have no reason to stay
I would have no reason to remain here
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
I am going to bask in the sun and smoke a large marijuana joint
And grab my guitar and play
I am going to play my guitar
The four days flew by like a drunk Friday night
The last four days passed rapidly
As the summer drew to an end
The summer season is coming to an end
They can't believe that I just couldn't leave
My friends are surprised that I could not depart
And I bid adieu to my friends
I say goodbye to my friends
Because my bartender she's from the islands
My bartender comes from the islands
Her body's been kissed by the sun
The sun has darkened her skin
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
The aroma of coconuts replaces the smell of the bar
And I don't know if it's her or the Rum
I am not sure if I am attracted to her or the alcohol
A long way from GA
Far away from Georgia
Yes, and all the muchachas they call me Big Poppa
The girls call me Big Poppa
When I throw pesos their way
When I give them money
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jäger
Please pour me a Jägermeister shot
Going home now to stay
I am returning home permanently
The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero
The girls do not care when there is no money
Yeah, I got no money to stay
I do not have any money to remain here
And put my ass in a lawn chair
I plan on sitting on a lawn chair
Toes in the clay
My toes will be stuck in the clay
Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way
I have no concerns and a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is on the way
Life is good today
I am enjoying my life today
Life is good today
I am experiencing a good day today

The last song my oldest son picked on his own on his laptop before passing from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. His one finger still worked on the mouse wheel. He was a very positive person despite his circumstances. This song fits him. Today would've been his 32nd b-day. Forever 27. <3
