[Intro]
D
I need a day on the water
D
A day on the water
D
A day on the water
 
[Verse 1]
D
Feels like I'm locked up
D
'Cause I'm land locked
D
And I can't stop
D
Thinking 'bout drinking
D
On a boat dock
D
While the sun drops
D
On them coast rocks
D
And all that I've got's
D
A whole lotta time to kill
Bm G D
'Cause I've been on the clock, on the grind
D
Every day, 9 to 5
Bm
And it's 95 outside
G D
And I've got twenty-four on ice
 
[Chorus]
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
Ass in a float or a motor boat ride
Bm G D
SPF this blue collar
Bm G D
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Bm G
Till we're chillin' like Buffet
D
On a blue sky bender
Bm G
Working on nothin'
D
But a Busch Light
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
'Fore I up and lose my mind
 
[Verse 2]
D
I got a pretty thing
D
She got a pretty pink two-piece
D
That she's been dying to wear
D
And I've been dying to see
D
Through them Costa Del tortoise frames
D
Bobbin' out there on the waves
D
Yeah, I gotta go 'fore I go insane
 
[Chorus]
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
Ass in a float or a motor boat ride
Bm G D
SPF this blue collar
Bm G D
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Bm G
Till we're chillin' like Buffet
D
On a blue sky bender
Bm G
Working on nothin'
D
But a Busch Light
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
'Fore I up and lose my mind
 
[Guitar Solo]
Bm G D Bm G D
 
[Bridge]
Bm G D
Muddy water, green water
D
Hell, I'd take some creek water
Bm G D
Anything to clear my head
Bm G D
Muddy water, green water
D
Anything but sink water
Bm G D
Anywhere but off of it
 
[Chorus]
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
Ass in a float or a motor boat ride
Bm G D
SPF this blue collar
Bm G D
Turn boots into bare feet, find a shoreline
Bm G
Till we're chillin' like Buffet
D
On a blue sky bender
Bm G
Working on nothin'
D
But a Busch Light
Bm G D
I need a day on the water
Bm G D
'Fore I up and lose my mind
 
[Bridge]
Bm G D
Muddy water, green water
D
Hell, I'd take some creek water
Bm G D
Anything to clear my head
Bm G D
Muddy water, green water
D
Anything but sink water
Bm G D
Anywhere but off of it
 
[Outro]
