Best Kenny Chesney Lyrics

Chesney's Top 5 hit from 2010 is best known for the thick guitars and the rowdiness it inspires at live shows, but there are a few very creative lines. We're not 100 percent sure what a "cutoffs, pepper sauce queen" is, but we'd like to meet one. 'Ain't Back yet' just feels good to sing along to -- it's a true moment of spiritual freedom.

This song from 'Welcome to the Fishbowl' may be one of the better stories Chesney tells, but the sheer size of the single and its laborious pace makes it difficult for all but a committed fan to enjoy. The effort is worth it though, as simple lyrics begin to pack a serious emotional punch with subsequent listens.

Chesney's 2010 hit about football digs deeper than the action on the field. 'The Boys of Fall' tells the story of a brotherhood forged on the gridiron. It's a relationship that will last well into adulthood, one that will inspire future greatness. "You mess with one man, you got us all," he sings on this song from 'Hemingway's Whiskey.' Only a man who has been in the locker room can properly describe that bond, and Chesney doesn't miss with this lyric.

The opening lyrics from 'Living in Fast Forward' describes the life Chesney was living at the time he released his 'The Road and the Radio' album in 2005. Looking back, the album marks the turning point in his life and music -- the moment he began to turn inward for inspiration and began to think about slowing down.

By only reading the lyrics to 'Come Over,' Chesney's second single from 'Welcome to the Fishbowl,' and the second song from the album included on this list of his best lyrics, one misses the sadness and loneliness he injects into the performance. The line "I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder" is a message from a desperate man. The use of repetition amounts to begging, which makes his plea that much more sympathetic.

Another great lyric from this 2005 hit is "It ain't fair you died too young / Like a story that had just begun / The death tore the pages all away." 'Who You'd Be Today' is the singer's darkest moment, one that is difficult to get through if you've recently lost someone close.

'Summertime' topped our list of the Top 10 Kenny Chesney songs and ranks high on this list of the best Kenny Chesney lyrics because it paints a unique picture we're all familiar with. In different ways, men and women can relate to the lyric chosen to highlight this hit from 2006.

Chesney relies on lyrics and titles of other well-known songs to bring his story to life on 'I Go Back,' one of his best songs of all time. The lyrics about a lost friend are equally inspiring, but this line about a carefree summer romance was chosen to shine a spotlight on one of his sunniest sentiments.

'The Good Stuff' is the best story-telling song from Chesney's catalog. Perhaps as much as any from this list, his hit from 2002 will persevere through the decades. Maybe one will prefer the lyrics about the old bartender's marriage instead of this one about the end of their union. Few, however, will argue that this song has no place on a Best Kenny Chesney Lyrics list.

While never a No. 1 hit, 'You and Tequila -- Chesney's duet with Grace Potter -- was recognized for its artistic merit at the Grammy Awards. A great lyric will go unnoticed if the performance is so-so. The singing couple fill this hit with emotion and bittersweet sentiment. We love it because we've been there.
