Aaron, who hails from Auburn, Indiana, was surrounded by music growing up. After a brief stint in college; his father Jeoffrey, a professional gospel singer, invited Aaron to tour with him. Together they played more than 130 concerts annually for several years and recorded three CD's. The experience sculpted Aaron to the techniques of duo singing, which may be one reason why he never quite hit the jackpot after leaving to seek his fortunes as a solo artist.

Scott, who was born in Delight, Arkansas - and raised in Los Angeles started singing at an early age with his Uncle Jack; but, his strongest musical influence came from close family friend, Glenn Campbell. After high school, Scott, who had been acting as well as playing music, picked up work in commercials and on television shows.

Aaron and Scott teamed up after meeting on a music video in Nashville five years ago. It was an instant brotherhood! The two were inseparable! After years of friendship, and a bit of gentle pressure from their wives - the guys decided to see how it felt to sing together. They discovered not only did they have a perfect friendship, but also perfect harmonies!

One fateful day, the duo made it to Curb Records. There, they sat down in front of Doug Johnson, the A&R director for the new Asylum subsidiary, and performed. When they were finished, the first words out of Doug's mouth were "Man, one of you is really gonna have to screw this up to not make it work." With that, Blue County was officially born. Scott and Aaron have finished their sophomore album and it will be released very soon. Their new single "I Get To" can be heard on a radio station near you.

Walk on Water
Blue County Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody covets everybody lies
Everybody's done it
Some time in their lives
We all slip, we don't mean to
That don't mean you can't make it right

Chorus:
It's the path you take

The steps you make
That make you who you are
It's the life you live
The gifts you give
The love that's in your heart
Just try to do the best you can
To be a better man
You don't have to walk on water
It's how you walk on land

Everybody judges everybody else
Everybody's done it
To everyone but themselves
We know what's right
But we still go wrong
And life still goes on
Even when we fail

Chorus:
It's the path you take
The steps you make
That make you who you are
It's the life you live
The gifts you give
The love that's in your heart
Just try to do the best you can
To be a better man
You don't have to walk on water
It's how you walk on land

Repeat Chorus:
It's the path you take
The steps you make
That make you who you are
It's the life you live
The gifts you give
The love that's in your heart
Just try to do the best you can
To be a better man
You don't have to walk on water
Oh it's how you walk on land

You don't have to walk on water
It's how you walk on land

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue County's song "Walk on Water" speak to the human experience of making mistakes and feeling judged or ashamed by others. The first verse acknowledges that everyone has done something they regret, and that it's possible to make things right and move forward. The chorus emphasizes the importance of one's actions and morals, rather than trying to be perfect or godlike ("walk on water"). The lyrics here suggest that being a good person is about doing your best, being honest, and treating others with kindness, rather than achieving impossible standards.

The second verse delves into the idea of judging others and how this can be hypocritical given our own flaws. Despite knowing what's right, people are still imperfect and often make mistakes. However, the chorus repeats the message that while we may falter, it's important to keep trying to be a better person and to focus on the things that matter most in life - the gifts we give, the love in our hearts, and the way we treat others.

Overall, "Walk on Water" offers a reassuring reminder that it's okay to be imperfect and to make mistakes. The important thing is to take responsibility, strive for improvement, and to focus on the good in ourselves and others. The lyrics are encouraging and uplifting, and leave the listener with a sense of hope and inspiration to keep trying to be their best selves.
