[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 Concrete and cars are their own prison bars 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus 1] Adios and vaya con Dios Yeah, I'm leaving GA 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 leaving GA Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one And grab my guitar and play [Verse 2] 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 'Cause 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus 2] Adios and vaya con Dios A long way from GA Yes, and all the muchachas, they call me big papa When I throw pesos their way Adios and vaya con Dios A long way from GA Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jaeger and I'll grab my guitar and play [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus 3] Adios and vaya con Dios Going home now to stay The señoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero, yeah I got no money to stay Adios and vaya con Dios Going home now to stay [Outro] I'm just gon' drive 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
