It's A Smile, It's A Kiss, It's

I Think That In The Last Four Or Five Years I've Constantly Struggled With The Balance In My Life.

When I Started Playing Music At East Tennessee State University I Would Sit On A Stool With A Tip Jar In Front Of Me And Play Four Hours A Night At A College Bar Called Quarterback's Barbecue. I Wasn't Thinking About Doing It For A Living. I Was Just Making Enough Money To Go To Taco Bell Every Day. People Were Eating Chips, Drinking Beer And Not Listening To Me. I'd Had Three Or Four Years Of People Ignoring Me, And I'd Kind Of Gotten Used To It.

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

I Grew Up In East Tennessee, And Everybody Knew Everybody's Business.

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.
