Quote

I do sing about drinking, but it's in a party way. I don't sing about drinking in a drowning-my-sorrows way, like in George Jones's If Drinking Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will).

I'm very liberal in some ways, and then I'm very conservative in others. I once asked my grandpa, Are you a Republican or a Democrat? He said, I'm a Democrat, but I'm saving up to be a Republican.

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.

I love living my life in flip-flops. I met a guy in the islands a while ago who told me he hadn't worn a pair of shoes in three years! I thought, 'Man, that's the life!'

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.

I've been in the music business for 15 years. I've seen it all, man. I've just always been scared of coke. When I was on the road and saw some people do it, I was afraid I would really like it. I was afraid of the consequences.

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.

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

What you see is kinda what you get with me. I'm a very real person, or I hope to be, anyway. I don't have nothing to hide

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

I was on one bus with my band and crew for seven years. I didn't come to town with a karaoke tape. I didn't get on a TV show. There were no shortcuts. Anybody who wants to follow my model is welcome to it. You don't want to follow my path.
