Sand (Commentary)

You're listening to the album release special for Thomas Rhett's brand new album Center Point Road

Alright, now it's time to go to the beach
I heard sand and I'm like, "Okay, I don't know where I am right now
But as far as the picture that you painted (yeah), I was at the beach"

You're at the beach, yeah, man, I wrote this song with Jesse Frasure and Michael Hardy
Uhm, who now is taking on his own, uh, artist life

Man, he's come out of nowhere he's like, he's like (dude)
Every hit song right now

Literally one of my favorite songwriters I've gotten to work in a while time
And this is the first time me and Hardy ever got right and, uhm, we were just sitting there
And, Jesse had made this like super beach-y track and I've never put out any kind of beach song
I think Vacation was my best attempt at that
But this is straight up Kenny Chesney meets Jimmy Buffett meets a little bit of funk to it

And uhm, basically this song is really for you to just crack open a beer, and
And even if you're not at the beach, pretend like you are
It's basically about people goin', "I know we got two weeks worth of vacation
And we haven't taken one in a while, let's just get somewhere where there is sand
I don't care if it's a lake or a beach or wherever it's at"

But I hope this song takes you to different place and let's you chill out for a couple of minutes
