The Zac Brown Band has continued the music and traditions of Jimmy Buffett and has recorded some terrific songs featuring the same great stories, melodies, messages, and humor that made Buffett so popular around the world.

I especially love the songs "Chicken Fried", "Knee Deep", and of course, "Toes". This parody brings Zac Brown to "Minnesotaville" with a Swedish touch and the phrase, "Det ligger en hund begraven", which roughly translates to:

"There is a dog buried here". The English equivalent would be "I smell rat" or "Something smells fishy".

It sounds a bit odd, and I am not the least bit Swedish; but it fits in a Minnesotaville sorta way...

I got my boat in the water, truck in the mud Nothin's going right today, so far this trip is a dud This vacation sucks Man, it really sucks Well, our family left town just about six AM And the highway's still on my mind Bumper to bumper north on I-35 And a detour off 169 I waited all spring for the fish opening With my tackle and bait in the trunk But the kids have been fighting, since we passed Fort Snelling And I just can't wait to get drunk I got my boat in the water, truck in the mud Nothin's going right today, so far this trip is a dud This vacation sucks Man, it really sucks Det ligger en hund in begraven Yeah, I'm leaving St. Paul If it weren't for the muskies, the sunnys and crappies I wouldn't be here at all Det ligger en hund in begraven Yeah, it's my summer break Gonna lay on my pontoon, and play some Zac Brown tunes And cast my line in the lake These four days up north couldn't be any worse Than the winter that we just went through Now I can't believe that it's time to leave As I pack up what's left of my booze Cause my wife and kids, they all need a bath And I've only got one last wish That they ride back home in our pontoon boat Cause my family smells too much like fish

I got my boat in the water, truck in the mud Nothin's going right today, so far this trip is a dud This vacation sucked Man, it really sucked Det ligger en hund en begraven A long way to Leech Lake Yes, and all the bartenders say I'm a big spender When I throw some quarters their way Det ligger en hund en begraven A long way to Mille Lacs Some one please remind me, what I left behind me Cause I sure ain't coming back Det ligger en hund in begraven Going home now to stay Cause I'm out of Doritos, I hate the mosquitos I got no reason to stay Det ligger en hund en begraven Going home now to stay Just gonna go down by the lake And sit my ass on a wood dock, my toes in the lake Not a worry in the world, a cold Schell's Beer on the way Life is good today Life is good today
