kenny chesney - time flies

So you got a little heartbreak
Feeling like a dumb chump
Laying in left field
Can't believe you got dumped
Everything gone wrong
But you're listening to the right song

Grab yourself a cheap seat
Floating or flying
Anything southbound
Heading to the islands
Grab a little white sand
Maybe get your blues tanned

Riptides rippin'
The sunset's dippin'
You smile that smile
Keep on sippin'

Time flies
Sitting in the sun
When you're feeling numb
Time flies
When you're having rum
When you're having rum

Yeah, you find a little beach bar
Down on the water
Sail away the Captain
Feeling Jolly Roger
Talking to a cutie
Heading for the booty

Riptides rippin'
The sunset's dippin'
You smile that smile
You'll be saying

Time flies
Sitting in the sun
Yeah, when you're getting some
Time flies
When you're having rum
When you're having rum

Yeah

Riptides rippin'
The sunset's dippin'
You smile that smile
You'll be saying

Time flies
Yeah, when your in the sun
Yeah, when you're feeling numb
Time flies

Time flies
Sitting in the sun
Yeah, when you're getting some

Time flies
When you're having rum
When you're having rum
When you're getting some
When you're feeling numb

kenny chesney - good stuff

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights
At the corner bar... it just seemed right so I pulled up

Not a soul around but the old barkeep
Down at the end and looking half asleep
And he walked over and said what'll it be
I said the good stuff

He didn't reach around for the whiskey
He didn't pour me a beer
His blue eyes kinda went misty
He said you can't find that here

Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date
Mama's all worried when you get home late
And dropping the ring in the spaghetti plate,
Cause you hands are shaking so much
And it's the way that she looks with rice in her hair
Eating burnt suppers the whole first year
And asking for seconds to keep her from tearing up
Yeah man that's the good stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass
I smiled and said,"I'll have some of that."
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old friends
I saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
He said that's my bonnie takin bought a year after we were wed

He said spent five years in the bottle
When the cancer took her from me
And I've been sober 3 years now
Cause the one thing stronger then the whiskey

Was the sight of her holding my baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day that our youngest boy earl
Married his high school love
And its a new t-shirt sayin i'm a grandpa
Being right there as her time got small
And holding her hand as the good lord called her up
Yeah man thats the good stuff

When you get home she'll start to cry
When she says, "I'm sorry.", say,"So am I."
And look into those eyes so deep in love
And drink it up

kenny chesney - somebody take me home

Same ol' bedroom floor
Same ol' empty sheets
I hate this haunted bed
So down here's where I sleep

Tryin' to find a place
To hide what you have left
Some things never change
My heart hasn't yet

Well I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke streetlight
Can't somebody take me home
Can't somebody take me home

The hope that we had left
Wrapped around your ring
That river just rolled on by
When I watched it sink

Well I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke streetlight
Can't somebody take me home
Can't somebody take me ...

Out of this bar
Out of this heartache
Out of this town
That just keeps breakin' down
Keeps breakin' down ...

Well I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke streetlight
Can't somebody take me home

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke streetlight
Can't somebody take me home
Can't somebody take me home
Won't you take me home

kenny chesney - dancin for the groceries

She's thinking about what her kids are doing
Five miles away, it's almost time for bed
they're brushing teeth and hearing one more story
and in the mirror she paints her lips bright red
she wishes she could call and say she loves them
but the bossman says no calls go out or in
so she puts on a dress that might feel pretty
if she didnt have to take it off again

She's dancin for the Groceries
She's dancin for the rent
she's dancing for the credit cards
that she's already spent
in sequence and in laces
She's dancing for the braces
So her kids can a perfect smile someday
Smiling While she dances
is the price she has to pay

They tell her in this job there is no future
So get it while you can Cause looks dont last
There money in those pockets for the take in
If u do it right it makes the time go fast
The music loud the drinks are mostly water
What her name is tonight she cant recall
the business men stair at the single mother
Whose smiling while she's stairing at the wall

She's dancin for the Groceries
She's dancin for the rent
she's dancing for the credit cards
that she's already spent
in sequence and in laces
She's dancing for the braces
So her kids can a perfect smile someday
Smiling While she dances
is the price she has to pay

Someday she'll have a house out in the country
Someday she'll see the other side of dawn
and noone will ever know
but it wats she did before
she just heard the dj say your on
The lights come up
and they play her song

kenny chesney - road and the radio

Ain't nothing out here but me, the road and the radio
Looking for an exit and a song that I might know
Counting down the memories and adding up the miles
Searching for a feeling I ain't felt in a while

Clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination that's hard to find
It may take some time
But in my mind there's something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know:
The road and the radio

Spent the night in Carolina, got up early out of bed
Bought a Red Bull and a road map and a old Stones cassette
Setting my sights south bound, no reason or rhyme
Threw up a prayer just lookin', just lookin' for a sign

And some clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination that's hard to find
It may take some time
But in my mind there's something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know:
The road and the radio

In my mind there's something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know:
The road and the radio
The road and the radio
The road and the radio

Mmmm-mmm-mmm ...
The road and the radio
The road and the radio
Mmmm-mmm-mmm ...

kenny chesney - she thinks my tractor s sexy

Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up a throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

We ride back and forth 'til we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
One more teeny weeny ride before take her home

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor's
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy

kenny chesney - live those songs again

Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.

Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.

He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in

As long as we're outta here, baby lets get outta here

Outta here

Come on baby lets get outta here, cruise down A1A, hang out in key west a little while

kenny chesney - you save me

Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that moves me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

kenny chesney - who you d be today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who'd you be today?

Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who you'd be today?

Today, today, today.
Today, today, today.

[Instrumental Break]

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is I know I'll see you again some day.

Some day, some day, some day.

kenny chesney - old blue chair

There's a blue rocking chair
Sittin in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands
It sways back and forth with the help of the winds,
Seems to always be there,like an old trusted friend

I've read a lot of books,
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin, where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windshield, but nothing compares
To the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it when I sit in that old blue chair

From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays
And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay
I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart
I prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start

I've read a lot of books,
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin,where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windeshield, but nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it when I sit in
that old blue chair

That chair was my bed one New Year's Night
When i passed out from too much malibu and Diet
And woke up to a hundred mesquito bites,
I swear got 'em all sittin right there
In that old blue chair

There's a blue rockin chair
Sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands

kenny chesney - where i grew up

There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house
Where Mama used to measure us
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised
But that ain't where I grew up

See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
Man, that sure was tough

Felt like I put on a few years
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
That's where I grew up

My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Getting a head start on twenty one
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
But that ain't where I grew up

See I gained a little on Father Time
That night I crossed that center line
I bet I rolled a dozen times

Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Praying God just get me out
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
Hey, that's where I grew up

You learn as you go, that's how you grow

See, I gained a little on Father Time
When me and her, had our first big fight
I said some things, I made her cry
She packed all her stuff

The boy in me said let her go
But the man in me said pull her close
It was time to find out which one I was
Standing in a doorway holding on to love

That's where I grew up
Oh, that's where I grew up

kenny chesney - everywhere we go

Well I just found this old picture in my wallet
Of you and me, down in Mexico
Just look at us there on that beach, on that blanket
That look on our face says all you need to know

Seems like everywhere we go baby love goes everywhere
Everytime our hearts meet love is all around us
Every road we take darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

Sometimes I dream, we're alone on an island
Nowhere to go, we don't want to leave
All that we have is a world full of time
We spend it all on you and me
It's all that we need

Seems like everywhere we go baby love goes everywhere
Everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I'm so alive when I'm near you
This fire in my heart lights the world when I'm with you

Every road we take, darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go
Everywhere we go

kenny chesney - christmas in dixie

By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground
And out in California, the sunshine's falling down
And, maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight

Chorus:
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight

It's windy in Chicago. The kids are out of school
There's magic in Motown. The city's on the move
In Jackson, Mississippi, to Charlotte, Caroline
And all across the nation, it's the peaceful Christmas time

Chorus

And from Fort Payne, Alabama
And Knoxville, Tennessee
Merry Christmas tonight

kenny chesney - beer in mexico

Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart

Too old to be wild and free still
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Sun comes up and sun sinks down
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul

From the answers and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Maybe I'll settle down, get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me

So I'll just ...
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Down in Mexico ...
