'Do You Want To Pay Now?': How A Hospital Hounded A Sick Patient
Happy Birthday, Kenny Chesney! In celebration of the country superstar's 42nd birthday today (March 26), The Boot counts down our ten favorite songs from Luttrell, Tennessee's hometown hero.10. 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy'
A tractor probably isn't every woman's idea of a sexy ride, but according to Mr. Chesney, a John Deere is endearing to some lovely ladies. The "she" of this upbeat and humorous tune even appreciates a good farmer's tan. Watch the 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy' Video
9. 'Boats'
Not a radio single, but perhaps should have been. Kenny's free-sailing spirit shines through in this gentle ode to boats, as he sings about finding solace on the water on "vessels of freedom, harbors of healing."
8. 'You Had Me From Hello'
There's a good reason that this song title conjures memories of the scene from 'Jerry Maguire,' since the oft-quoted Renee Zellweger line was the inspiration for the ballad, which is now a favorite at wedding receptions for its sheer romanticism.
7. 'When the Sun Goes Down' (With Uncle Kracker)
This bouncy song extols the virtues of taking time to relax and time enjoy yourself, resting up in anticipation of a fun-filled evening. "Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down" speaks volumes as far as what that anticipation might entail. Watch Kenny Sing 'When the Sun Goes Down' Live
6. 'I Can't Go There' (With Tim McGraw)
This song never made the radio airwaves but certainly made us feel Kenny's pain. He can't go to that restaurant on Highway 1, can't ride the cable cars in San Francisco, heck ... he can't even go up the stairs, without thinking of his lost love. Whereas Kenny's 'I Go Back' evokes happy memories, this one evokes tears.
5. 'Summertime'
So many good things happen in summer that are worth celebrating, and this single does just that. A poolside favorite -- or beachside for Kenny -- this is one of his most beloved uptempo ditties. Watch the 'Summertime' Video
4. 'The Good Stuff'
Sometimes the best way to lift our spirits is to count our blessings, which is what Kenny does in this single. Inspired by a friend who lost his wife to cancer, the song's message is not to take anything for granted ... and to keep good memories alive. Watch 'The Good Stuff' Video
3. 'Better as a Memory'
According to Kenny and his self-proclaimed carefree spirit, this is a melancholy apology to those he has left behind in his quest to be true to himself. Breaking up with someone never sounded so justified.
2. 'Ain't Back Yet'
In this rocking song that proves the velvet-voiced singer is also a guitar hero, Kenny sings about pursuing your dreams and never looking back. Read about 'Ain't Back Yet'
1. 'Don't Blink'
Time goes by so fast, savor every minute! That's the lesson Kenny learned when he saw the story of a 102 year old man being interviewed on on a local news channel. The man's message to give love everyday inspired this poignant song and video. Watch the 'Don't Blink' Video
