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
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 song "Toes" by Jimmy Buffett and Zac Brown Band is a song about a man who takes a break from his everyday life to go on a vacation to a tropical location. The first verse paints a picture of the singer enjoying the beach life with his toes in the water and his ass in the sand, with a cold beer in his hand. He declares, "Life is good today," emphasizing the simplicity and peacefulness of the moment.
In the second verse, the singer has just landed in a tropical city and reminisces about the concrete and cars of his everyday life. He appreciates the plane that brought him to the water and how he feels he has "escaped" his mundane daily routine. The third verse describes the singer's departure and his reluctance to leave the scenic pleasures behind. He envies the lifestyle of those living near the beach, and he thinks he could be like them if he had a good reason to stay.
The song emphasizes the idea of enjoying life's simple moments and appreciating the escape from the monotony of everyday life. The singer realizes that if he could live in this type of environment, he would be more carefree and enjoy life more fully.

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
I'm enjoying the beach and the ocean vibe
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
I'm relaxed and carefree, enjoying a refreshing drink
Life is good today, life is good today
I'm grateful for this moment and enjoying life
Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock
I recently arrived by plane
And the city's still on my mind
I'm still thinking about where I came from
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I'm excited to be in a tropical paradise
I was still in the baggage line
I was dealing with the hassle of the airport
Concrete and cars are their own prison bars
The city can feel restrictive and limiting
Like this life I'm living in
I feel trapped in my current routine
But the plane brought me farther
Traveling has provided me with a new perspective
I'm surrounded by water
I'm in a coastal area
And I'm not going back again
I'm embracing this new setting and lifestyle
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Goodbye, and go with God
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
I'm departing from Georgia
And if it weren't for Tequila and pretty senoritas
The alcohol and attractive women are keeping me here
I'd have no reason to stay
I would have left already
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
I'm going to relax and smoke marijuana
And grab my guitar and play
I'm going to enjoy playing music
The four days flew by like a drunk Friday night
The time passed quickly and hazily
As the summer drew to an end
The season was coming to a close
They can't believe that I just couldn't leave
My friends are surprised that I stayed so long
And I bid adieu to my friends
I say farewell to my friends
Because my bartender she's from the islands
The bartender I've been spending time with is from the Caribbean
Her body's been kissed by the sun
She has a tan
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
The tropical scent of coconut is in the air
And I don't know if it's her or the Rum
I'm not sure if my enjoyment is due to the rum or the company
A long way from GA
I'm far from Georgia
Yes, and all the muchachas they call me Big Poppa
The women are interested in me
When I throw pesos their way
I'm giving them money
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jäger
I'm asking for another drink
And I'll grab my guitar and play
I'll continue playing music
Going home now to stay
I'm leaving this place for good
The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero
The women aren't interested in me when I have no money
Yeah, I got no money to stay
I can't afford to stay any longer
Just gonna prop up by the lake
I'll relax by the lake
And put my ass in a lawn chair
I'll sit in a chair
Toes in the clay
My feet are in the mud
Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way
I'm stress-free and enjoying a specific brand of beer
Life is good today
I'm content with how things are going right now

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
