"Knee Deep" is a song recorded by American country music group Zac Brown Band with Jimmy Buffett. It was released in May 2011 as the third single from the Zac Brown Band's second major-label album, 2010's You Get What You Give. It reached number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for one week in August 2011. The song is about laying back and having no worries (lyrics say: "Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.")
Co-writer Wyatt Durrette told the website Taste of Country that he has been a longtime fan of Jimmy Buffett and that he wanted to write a beach-themed song. He based the first verse on a breakup. Durrette brought the song to Brown, who helped him complete the second verse and melody. After neither of them could come up with a bridge, they brought the song to Jeffrey Steele, who helped them complete it.
Steve Morse of the Boston Globe called the song "festive" and a "highlight" of the album.Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips said that the song was "happy-go-lucky" but "sounds like a derivation of the band's own hit 'Toes'." Eric R. Danton of the Hartford Courant called it "exactly the kind of song you'd expect to hear Jimmy Buffett sing, but with more mandolin." Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a B+ rating, saying that the song "lacks spunk but radiates the same sea-breezy blissfulness" as "Toes".
Devil is the fourth album by Lydia. It was released on March 19, 2013.
On January 29, 2013, the band released the album art, release date, and the first single off the album.
The band released a deluxe edition of the album on October 15, 2013. It featured four new songs and acoustic versions of "The Exit" and "Devil".
When will we learn, the world must change
We have the power to kill and maim
Death toll is high, must it climb higher ?
Why does man have this killing desire ?
Here I stand knee deep in blood
Slaughter of man knee deep in blood
Categorical knaves, what`s there to prove ?
Violent bound slaves are satan`s fools
What`s the solution, can you tell me now ?
Blood rains from heaven, are they tears of god ?
Here I stand knee deep in blood
Slaughter of man knee deep in blood
When will we learn, the world must change
We have the power to kill and maim
Death toll is high, must it climb higher ?
Why does man have this killing desire ?
Here I stand knee deep in blood
