Billions of people all over the world enjoy listening to music on the daily. Some just listen to the radio on the way to work, some listen to it in their earbuds every second of every day, and then there are those in-between. There are also many different genres of music to listen to, and everyone has their own unique preferences. However, for many people, country music is the best music to them. Country music holds a special place in millions of hearts. It not only speaks about real life, it also isn't afraid to push the boundaries and say what we are all thinking, although they say it through song. Country music also has a lot of hidden meanings in the music, and that means that each set of lyrics can be interpreted differently to everyone. One of the most incredible things about country music is how the lyrics speak to each of us. It's feeling the chill run up your spine when you hear the lyrics that really add the finishing touch. Some of the most spine-chilling lyrics with subtle hidden meanings are the lyrics that leave the biggest impacts.

4. "Don't blink, just like that, you're six years old and you take a nap, then you wake up and you're 25 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 you better half of fifty years is there and been and your prayin' God takes you instead, trust me friend, a 100 years goes faster than you think, so don't blink." - "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney is a bittersweet song reminding us all to take it all in every chance we get because life does go faster than we think.
5. "Discount shades, store-bought tan, flip flops and cutoff jeans, somewhere between that settin' sun I'm of fire and born to run..."
