Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm locked up 'cause I'm land-locked
And I can't stop thinking 'bout drinking on a boat dock
While the sun drops on them coast rocks
And all that I've got's a whole lotta time to kill
[PreChorus]
'Cause I've been on the clock, on the grind
Every day, nine to five
And it's ninety-five outside
And I've got twenty-four on ice
[Chorus]
I need a day on the water
Ass in a float or a motorboat ride
SPF this blue collar
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Till we're chillin' like Buffet on a blue sky bender
Working on nothin' but a Busch Light
I need a day on the water
'Fore I up and lose my mind
[Verse 2]
I got a pretty thing
She got a pretty pink two-piece
That she's been dying to wear and I've been dying to see
Through them Costa Del tortoise frames
Bobbin' out there on the waves
Yeah, I gotta go 'fore I go insane
[Chorus]
I need a day on the water
Ass in a float or a motorboat ride
SPF this blue collar
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Till I'm chillin' like Buffet on a blue sky bender
Working on nothin' but a Busch Light
I need a day on the water
'Fore I up and lose my mind
[Bridge]
Muddy water, green water
Hell, I'd take some creek water
Anything to clear my head
Muddy water, green water
Anything but sink water
Anywhere but off of it
[Chorus]
I need a day on the water
Ass in a float or a motorboat ride
SPF this blue collar
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Till we're chillin' like Buffet on a blue sky bender
Working on nothin' but a Busch Light
I need a day on the water
'Fore I up and lose my mind
[Bridge]
Muddy water, green water
Hell, I'd take some creek water
Anything to clear my head
Muddy water, green water
Anything but sink water
Anywhere but off of it
