June 13, 2015. The day I finally got to see Kenny Chesney.
I was six or seven when I experienced my first love. His name was Kenny Chesney and he was perfect for multiple reasons. Growing up, his songs tugged on my soul and had a connection with my life. I realized we had a lot in common! This could be because I subconsciously wanted to be the perfect lady for Kenny, so I molded my interests around his songs. Or Kenny Chesney and I could actually be soulmates. Either way, he has 100 percent influenced my life. I sat down to think about all the connections I could make between myself and his songs, and the list is rather large. Here are 30 things I blame Kenny Chesney for.
My love for:
- The beach "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"
Click here for the music video (You won't regret it.) - The sunshine/sunsets/sunrises "When the Sun Goes Down", "How Forever Feels"
- The "first long kiss on a second date" "The Good Stuff"
- Summer "Summertime"
- Riding barefoot with my feet on the dashboard "Summertime"
- Eating chicken on Sundays "I Go Back"
- Listening to my music "just a little too loud" "Young"
- Sweet tea "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
- Small hometowns "Back Where I Come From"
- The Spanish language/interest in Mexico "Beer in Mexico", "You Save Me"
Making me realize that:
- I have a crazy obsession with being tan "How Forever Feels", "When the Sun Goes Down"
- It's okay to have fifteen pairs of shoes "There Goes My Life"
- Living to love and laughing a lot is all I need "Never Wanted Nothin' More"
- It's okay if I can't cook because "eating burnt suppers the whole first year" is actually "good stuff" "The Good Stuff"
- It's important to take every moment for what it's worth, because things really never are the same "Just Don't Happen Twice"
- Guys will say anything they want to "get the job done" "Out Last Night"
- It's okay to have dreams like "a little farm and a yard full of kids" instead of a fancy mansion, etc. "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
- You've got to be different from everyone else if you want to be successful "Big Star"
- It's okay that all my friends are settling down and I'm not "Living in Fast Forward"
- God is in charge of everything from the sunshine to the moonshine "Back Where I Come From"
And also for:
- Perfectly describing what it feels like to get saved "Never Wanted Nothin' More"
- Forever making me want to marry my high school sweetheart "Don't Blink"
- Promoting singing karaoke -- one of my favorite hobbies "Big Star"
- Making September my favorite month "Just Don't Happen Twice"
- Forever making me want to "climb up in the loft, sit and talk with the radio on" "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
- Making me want to never grow up "Young"
- Encouraging me to pay attention to my first kisses so I can "still taste that first kiss""Just Don't Happen Twice"
- Sometimes making me want a good glass of milk before bed "The Good Stuff"
- Making me want to laugh when someone tells me they love me because it's not true "Anything but mine"
- Making me secretly want to be from Tennessee, but hey, Georgia's close enough, right Kenny? "Back Where I Come From"
