Toes Songtext
von John Friday

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

Well the plane touched down
Just about three o′clock
And the city's still on my mind

Bikinis and palm trees
And fancy my head
I was still in the baggage line

′Cause concrete and cars
Are their own prison bars
Like this life I'm livin' in

But the plane brought me farther
I′m surrounded by water
And I ain′t goin' back again


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

Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah I′m leavin' VA
And if it weren′t for tequila
And pretty señoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah I′m leavin' VA
Gonna lay in the hot sun
And roll a big fat one
Pick up my guitar and play

Well the four days flew by
Like a drunk Friday night
As summer came to an end

They couldn't believe
Why I just couldn′t leave
And I bid adieu to my friends

′Cause my bartender
She's from the islands
Her body′s been kissed by the sun


And a coconut replaces
The smell of the bar
And I don't know if it′s her or the rum

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

Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from VA
Yes and all these muchachas
They call me big papa
When I throw pesos their way
Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from VA
Hey barman do me a favor
And pour me some Jäger
I grab my guitar and play

Adios and vaya con dios
Never goin' back to VA
The señoritas don′t care-o
That I got no dinero
Don't need no money to stay
Adios and vaya con dios
Found a home now to stay
Yeah just gonna head on down to the islands

With my ass in a beach chair
And my toes in the bay
Not a worry in the world
A mojito on the way
Life is good today
Life is good today
