[edit] Story

A man feeling the blues (most likely a love problem), turns on the news when a person comes on, claiming that heartaches are healed by the sea. Without a moment's notice, he heads down to the beach, eager for a night on the town. After two piña coladas, the man begins to feel elated, and at this point never wants to leave. He also considers burying his forgotten troubles in the sand and setting sail with Captain Morgan.

Though the song is predominantly country, a moderate reggae twist can be felt. Like "Friends in Low Places", a large (most likely drunk) crowd joins Garth after the second chorus.
