Knee Deep Lyrics

Gonna put the world away for a minute,
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought it,
Now I'm lost in the world tryin'a find me a better way

Wishin' I was
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze, and it don't seem fair
Only worry in the world: Is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might'a found me my own kinda paradise

Wrote a note said, "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishin' my condition ain't a'ever gonna go away

And now I'm
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world: is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might'a found me my own kinda paradise

This champagne shore washing over me
It's a sweet sweet life living by the salty sea
One day you will be as lost as me
Change your geography, maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world: is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might'a found me my own kinda paradise

Come on in the water's nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack
Otherwise you'll never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise

I look at this as someone is trying to get over someone, and so, wants to go somewhere and be "knee deep" in water where he can forget her.

I must say, I wish I were knee deep, wandering if the tide will reach my chair.

Pretty much an improvement on the Jimmy Buffet-esque "Where the Boat Leaves From"

...

it has Jimmy on the track! Seriously, though, very catchy song that's just easy to listen to

Gr8 Song. Perfect beach song for this year. All I need now is the beach and some beers!

Cover art for Knee Deep lyrics by Zac Brown Band

It's about a person who is tired of the bitter cold winter weather and is wishing that they could be anywhere that is hot all year. Everyone in the Eastern and Middle parts of the United States must be wishing the same thing that the Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffet are wishing in this song. It doesn't seem fair that we have to have all the cold and snow while the West get all the sun.

My Interpretation

"When you lose yourself You find a key to paradise"

LOL. It's a song about "flow", isn't it? :)

"In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. Named by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields (and has an especially big recognition in Occupational Therapy), though has existed for thousands of years under other guises, notably in some Eastern religions. Achieving flow is often colloquially referred to as being in the zone..."

My Interpretation

@42 steps dude, you’re way over thinking this. It’s simply a song about loving the sand and the sea and it being the best place to get away. One of the writers had just broken up with a woman so he went to his favorite place to kick back for awhile.
