"Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney (Chris Wallin/Casey Beathard)

1st Verse

I turned on the evenin' news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turnin' a hundred and two today
They asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his ol' pipe
Laughed and said, 'All I can say is'

Chorus

Don't blink
Just like that
You're six years old and you take a nap
And you wake up and you're twenty-five
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turnin' into moms and dads
Next thing you know
Your better half of fifty years is there in bed
And you're prayin' God takes you instead
Trust me friend
A hundred years goes faster than you think
(So) (But) don't blink

2nd Verse

I was glued to my TV
When it looked like he looked at me
And said, 'Let's start puttin' first things first'
'Cause when your hourglass runs outta sand
You can't flip it over, start again
Took every breath God gives you, for what it's worth

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

So I been tryin' to slow it down
I been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Naw, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think



  "Never Wanted Nothing More" by Kenny Chesney (Ronnie Bowman/Chris Stapleton)

1st Verse

I couldn't wait to turn sixteen
And drive all the boys around
Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel
Was all I could think about
A little rust in the bed of that truck
And a four-speed on the floor
Five hundred dollars
It was mine all mine
And I never wanted nothin' more

2nd Verse

I took Katie down by the river
With a six-dollar bottle 'a wine
Just a fool tryin' to play it cool
Hopin' she'd let me cross the line
And I was prayin' that she couldn't tell
I never been that far before
The first time's a one-time feelin'
And I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more

Chorus

Well, I'm what I am
And I'm what I'm not
(And) (But) I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need

3rd Verse

My buddies all tried to change my mind
But I told 'em that I thought it through
Well, Katie laughed and my mama cried
When they heard me say, 'I do'
Her little ring is a little thing
But it's all that I could afford
Now she's mine all mine
'Til the day I die
And I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more

(Repeat Chorus)

4th Verse

One Sunday I listened to the preacher
And I knew he was preachin' to me
I couldn't help it
I walked up front
And I got down on my knee
Right then and there I swear
I changed when I found the Lord
Glory hallelujah, good God Almighty
I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Never wanted nothin' more
And I never wanted nothin' more



  "Beer In Mexico" by Kenny Chesney (Kenny Chesney)

1st Verse

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

2nd Verse

Too old to be wild and free
Still too young to be over the hill
Should I 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
(Down in Mexico)

3rd Verse

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

4th Verse

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Maybe I'll settle down
Get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I'm travelin'
Still a mystery to me

(Repeat Chorus)



   "You Save Me" by Kenny Chesney (Brett James/Troy Verges)

1st Verse

Every now and then
I get a little lost
And strings all get tangled
Our wires all get crossed
Every now and then
I'm right up on the edge
Danglin' my toes
Out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

Chorus

('Cause) when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
('Cause) when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
And 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

2nd Verse

This hard-lovin' man has 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 believes in me
Like nobody else
And I thank God you do

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

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

Pre Chorus

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

(Repeat Chorus)



  "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney (Steve McEwan/Craig Wiseman)

1st Verse

Summertime is finally here
That old ball park man
Is back in gear out on 49
Man, I can see the lights

2nd Verse

School's out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
Can't help but smile

Chorus

(And it's) two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle (rollin') on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile
It's a kiss
It's a sip 'a wine
It's summertime
Sweet summertime

3rd Verse

Temperature says 93
Down at the Deposit and Guarantee
But that swimmin' hole
It's nice and cold

Bikini bottoms underneath
But the boy's hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Them old cut-offs

The more they stay the same (stay the same)
It don't matter how old you are
When you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Yeah, baby, when you got

   "Living In Fast Forward" by Kenny Chesney (David Lee Murphy/Rivers Rutherford)

1st Verse

The body's a temple
That's what we're taught
Well, I've treated this one like an old honky-tonk
Greasy cheeseburgers and cheap cigarettes
One day they'll get me
If they ain't got me yet

Chorus

('Cause) (Well) (Yeah) I been livin' in fast forward
Hillbilly rock star
Out of control
Well, I been livin' in fast forward
Now I need to rewind real slow
(Yeah, I need to rewind real slow)
(Yeah, I still got some miles to go)

2nd Verse

My friends all grew up
And they settled down
Built nice little houses
On the outskirts of town
They work in their office
And drive SUV's
They pray for their babies
And they worry 'bout me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I'm always runnin'
Son-of-a-gunnin'
I've had a good time, it's true
But the way I've been goin'
It's time that I tone it
Down just a notch or two
Oh, yeah

(Chorus Out)

1st Verse

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
Still can't believe you're gone

Chorus

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

Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

Today, today, today
Today, today, today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that give me hope

Cold drink chillin' in my right hand
Watchin' you sleep in the evenin' light
Restin' up for a long, long night

Layin' in the hammock where it's nice an' breezy

This ol' guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothin' to do but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it's time to play

When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' all right
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down, (yeah)

(Uncle Kenny's hotter)
When the sun goes down
