Water
Brad Paisley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air
I was three years old
Splashin' everywhere
And so began my love affair
With water

On a river bank
With all my friends
A big old rope tied to a limb
And your a big old wuss
If you don't jump in
The water

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Grab your swimming trunks
Ice up that old Igloo
Drive until the map turns blue

Daytona Beach on spring break
Eighteen girls up on stage
White t-shirts about to be sprayed
With water

Oh let'er go boys

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Just go and grab someone you wanna see in a bathing suit
And drive until the map turns blue

You can stay right there
When the daylight's gone
Play truth or dare
And it won't take long
'Fore you and her got nothin' on
But water

All you really need this time of year
Is a pair of shades
And ice cold beer
And a place to sit somewhere near
Water

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Brad Paisley's song, "Water," are a nostalgic reminder of his childhood. He reminisces about playing in an inflatable pool filled with his father's hot air when he was only three years old. This experience marked the beginning of his love affair with water, which has continued to this day. He goes on to describe how he and his friends would go to the riverbank and tie an enormous rope to a limb, daring each other to jump into the water. Brad taunts those who were afraid of diving in the water, calling them "a big old wuss."


The chorus describes how, during the summer's hottest days, there is nothing better to do than pack your swimming trunks, grab some ice for the cooler, and hit the road until you find water. To Brad, water represents a sense of freedom and joy, and he believes that no matter how old you are, water will always provide the perfect escape from the day-to-day grind. Whether it be a beach party, a music festival, or a romantic getaway with someone special, Brad encourages us all to seek out places and experiences that involve water.
