Same Boat

The phrase "to be in the same boat" means to be in the same unfortunate or difficult circumstances as others. This song, which Zac Brown wrote in his time off during the COVID lockdown, finds him offering a message of unity and hope.

We're all in the same boat Fishin' in the same hole Wonderin' where the same time goes, and money too Tryin' to fix the same broke hearts Speaking to Audacy's Katie Neal, Zac Brown said the song is a reminder that people went through the same trials and tribulations during the coronavirus pandemic. Once things get back to normal, people need to remember to be remember we are all human beings and be kind and tolerant to others, "even if their beliefs are different than ours."

Brown wrote "Same Boat" with frequent collaborator Ben Simonetti and Nashville songwriter Jonathan Singleton (Billy Currington's "Don't," Josh Turner's "Why Don't We Just Dance," Luke Combs' "Beer Never Broke My Heart").
