I am a pretty big fan of country music, although I know many people are not. So I chose one of my favorites “Toes” by the Zac Brown Band. This song is not really the typical country song in that it doesn’t really have the heavy country accent and just has a different feel in general. The song describes someone getting ready to go on vacation to Mexico and leaving the boring confines of a city. Once in Mexico he describes relaxing and having a good time having his toes in the water, ass in the sand, and a cold beer in his hand. Once in Mexico he describes his days there as “Four days flew by like a drunk Friday night as the summer drew to an end”. Once arriving home he attempts to enjoy his home as much as Mexico by replicating what he did there saying “I'm just gunna prop up by the lake I've got 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.”
If you haven’t listened to this song I suggest you look it up on youtube or some other way and check it out because it is a great song.
Even though the song title is different to say the least, it seems like it is a very fun and laid back song. I will definately have to look up this song on youtube!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite Zac Brown Band songs! I love songs that help remind you of the simple things in life. This song just makes me feel good. I have to agree, "life is good today."
ReplyDeleteI also like this song. It truely reminds me of my own summer vacations every year. Can't wait to be on the beach again.
ReplyDeleteI am going to this concert tomorrow night, I can't wait.......I love this band!!!!
ReplyDeleteRight at the beginning when you said some people are not a fan of country music, well I am one of them. I do love the lyrics to country music though. The song you chose to blog about seems hilarious to me because it is too good to be true. The beach sounds amazing right now and a great way to get away from all the schoolwork.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good song. I am going to see Zac Brown Band on Friday.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love the Jimmy Buffet style of country, just kicking back and relaxing. I also love it when country artists get away from the twang and honky-tonk sound and make "different" kinds of country music, kind of like brad Paisley and Keith Urban. I want to hear this song, though. Sounds like a hit!
