In the song, the male narrator describes a relaxing trip to Mexico from Georgia, or “G-A.” Throughout the verses, he tells of the “pretty señoritas” and “muchachas” that he encounters, as well as the copious alcoholic drinks that he consumes. In the final pre-chorus, the narrator runs out of money, returns home and continues to relax there.

The version released to most radio stations replaces the line “I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand” from the chorus with “[…]toes in the sand” and edits out the line “roll a big fat one” from a later chorus.

According to Brown, the song’s music video includes a central character named “Flody Boatwood” and several cameo appearances, including Kid Rock. The video was directed by Darren Doane, and released July 7, 2009. Portions of the music video were shot at Daniel’s Grocery off of Pilgrim Mill Road in Forsyth County, Georgia, and on Lake Lanier.
