Zac Brown Band sing about wrecking trucks and getting arrested for weed in the lively bluegrass-influenced new song “Fun Having Fun”
Set to a speedy tempo and propelled by choppy mandolin, Brown and his mates recount instances of finding trouble that would get most kids grounded for life. “Well I had a big old pair for a boy just 8 years old,” he sings, before recalling how he wrecked his grandad’s prized Ford truck, burned down a hayloft, and, as a teenager, got arrested for smoking weed in a van with his buddies. When confronted in cartoonish fashion by a stern-voiced authority figure, Brown simply shrugs.
“It’s fun having fun/There’s only so many trips round the sun,” he sings, with the group adding their trademark layered harmonies. The instrumental breaks take a wild turn through the middle section, with the tempo picking up dramatically and an acoustic guitar evoking the frenzy of a chase scene. When Brown sings about his encounter with the police, he does it with a sly grin: “I looked fucked-up in the mugshot/But I’d do it all again,” with the F-word neatly bleeped out.
