The Song

tory

A man feeling the blues (most likely a love problem), turns on the news when a person comes on, claiming that "heartaches are healed by the sea". Without a moment's notice, he heads down to the beach, eager for a night on the town. After two piña coladas, the man begins to feel elated, and at this point never wants to leave. He also considers burying his forgotten troubles in the sand and setting sail with Captain Morgan.

The Music

Performed in F major, the song is a moderate up-tempo with a moderate Latin music feel, punctuated by several acoustic guitar runs (mostly performed by Shawn Camp, the song's co-writer). A large crowd of singers joins Brooks on the song's final chorus.

"Two Piña Coladas" gained the #29 position on the CMT "40 Greatest Drinking Songs: Morning After" broadcast.
