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 save me

You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.

When I'm onstage I just want to feel as comfortable as I possibly can.
Kenny Chesney
Image
I realized that I wanted to get better in every way. As a person, as a friend, as a songwriter, as a musician, as an artist, record producer, you name it.

I have friends who have a normal family, kids and a dog, and I think I would blow my brains out. It's fine for them. But I'm such a free spirit, I feel more alive when I've got somewhere to go.

Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.

I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not. And I'm sure happy with what I've got. I live to love and laugh a lot. And that's all I need.
Kenny Chesney

Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.

it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ... it's summertime!

My mother is a very fun-loving person. She has been through a lot in her life. She has had a couple of divorces. When I was in high school she was a single mother. That's when I learned to do my own laundry.

Me and my band and crew have always lived by the code: 'Work hard, play harder.'

When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.
Kenny Chesney
Image
There's this emotion we all feel of being overwhelmed at times, feeling that you can't get ahead. For me it's self-imposed because I'm so driven and I'm always going from project to project.
Kenny Chesney

Just because I don't sing about the normal country themes doesn't mean my songs aren't country. I'd rather sing about having fun.
Kenny Chesney
Image
I need to recharge creatively, and get off the clock of having to be somewhere just because, and having to keep juggling all these things.
Kenny Chesney
Image
I'm glad I took that time to work really hard on the music. I feel the effects of that now in a positive way with my connection with the audience.

When I'm offstage, I never feel famous. I will never let anybody call a restaurant and say, We're with Kenny Chesney. Can you get us in? That's so pretentious. I'm pretty simple except for the fact that I have a really great boat and a little bit of money. When I'm offstage I don't feel like the person everybody sees.
