American Kids performance
Chesney performs his single, American Kids, at the 48th Annual CMA Awards.
Til It’s Gone
Chesney releases the single, Til It’s Gone, from his album, The Big Revival. Chesney:
If you think about what the song says, it’s very much a one-on-one piece of communicating. It’s about hanging on to the one who matters to you; for me, it’s talking straight to those hardcore fans who’ve been there — and saying ‘no matter where or what, I’m in this as long as you hang on.

Only 2014 concert
Chesney plays to a crowd of 40,000 at his free concert, Flora-Bama Jama at The Flora-Bama on the state line between Orange Beach, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida. The beach show will be the only concert performance of 2014 for Chesney:
Man, when those people kicked in and started singing back to me, that just hit me in the heart. A year without touring takes me away from that, and those fans… whether they know it or not… inspire me. So having spent the year writing and recording, that was like plugging into the source.
Flora Bama
Chesney releases the single, Flora Bama, from his album, The Big Revival. Chesney:
It’s a very specific song about a very specific place. But it’s also a song for anyone who has somewhere they go to let their mind unwind. It’s about bein’ easy, but bein’ engaged. Because – as I’ve said – places like the Flora-Bama are what life is all about.
American Kids
Chesney releases American Kids, a song that captures the trials, tribulations and successes of growing up in the U.S.A.
Listening to those finely crafted lyrics, seeing those images — “little map dots,” “teenage dreamin’, front seat leanin'” and “uptown down home American kids” — I remember being that kid. I remember my braces. I remember the first time a boy held my hand, and I thought my heart would burst. I remember feeling like I could conquer the world all while being scared to death of it.
Pirate Flag performance

Pirate Flag
Chesney releases the single, Pirate Flag, from his album, Life On A Rock. Chesney:
What people might not realize about a lot of the ‘babes’ in this video is those are my friends, girls I know from the island who did the very thing this song is about, and that freedom from what’s expected just makes them shine. I think there’s a little bit of ‘Ferris Bueller’ in all of us, and this song is all about who we’d be on a perfect day where we just said, ‘Forget about it!’ So, that’s what we tried to capture.

Come Over
Chesney releases his single Come Over from his album, Welcome to the Fishbowl. Chesney about the song:
Come Over is to me about two people that are as broken as their relationship is, where they realize deep down that their relationship has probably ran its course, but they aren’t really ready to emotionally or physically move on to somethin’ else. So what do they do? They keep goin’ back to each other because it’s familiar. And this song to me is more than just about comfortable sex. It’s about emotionally being wanted in a moment where it really feels impossible to let anybody else fill that void.
Feel Like A Rockstar
Chesney releases the single, Feel Like A Rockstar, featuring McGraw, from his album, Welcome to the Fishbowl. Chesney:
It describes my fan base to a T because my road family, we have always worked very hard, but we’ve always lived by the theory of we work really hard and play harder.It seemed to work for us. I think that defines a lot of the people that have spent a lot of summers with us out there on the road. The first time I heard Feel Like a Rock Star, I knew I was gonna record it because it defined everything that we’re about out there on the road.

Reality
Chesney releases the single, Reality, from his album, Hemingway’s Whiskey.
So I’d go to the dentist to have something done and they’d put that gas mask on me and I’d be like, ‘Wow, that’s as relaxed as I’ve been in years!’ I thought to myself, ‘This is why people smoke pot right here! This is it!’ I don’t smoke pot, but this is why people do it, I guarantee you. Because it gets them away from reality. I even asked my dentist, ‘I just want to come over here and sit some time, can you guys do that?’ He said, ‘We can’t do that, we’d get in trouble.
I swear, I started writing that song on the way home. But then I related it to everybody that comes to see us. That’s what live music is. It’s an escape from reality. That’s why as a kid I loved it. I still love going to shows, I love live music. That’s where I got the idea to write the song, it’s my message to the fans that it’s OK to break free and escape reality, with us.
You And Tequila
Chesney releases the single, You And Tequila, featuring Grace Potter from his album, Hemingway’s Whiskey.
I’d never met Grace Potter until she came into the studio. She grew up in the woods in Vermont. I grew up in the woods in East Tennessee. We come from completely worlds, different backgrounds, probably religious beliefs, we haven’t talked about it. I don’t know what her political beliefs are, I don’t know nothing about any of that. I know she’s a great person and I know that she is a hell of a singer. I heard her voice and I knew I would love to sing with her one day. I didn’t know it would be on this, or this soon.
The Boys of Fall
Chesney releases his single The Boys of Fall from his album, Hemingway’s Whiskey. Songwriter Casey Beathard tells what inspired him to write the song:
Football is my biggest passion other than songwriting and the family stuff I do. If I’m not with my family or writing, I’m at home just watching football. That’s my background. My dad and brothers were in football, and I have a big passion for it. I’m coaching my kids all through it.
Out Last Night
Chesney releases the single, Out Last Night, from his album, Greatest Hits Volume 2. Chesney:
I think people have so much heavy stuff to deal with. You can get so lost in all of that, that you miss the little things that make life worth living. And I believe we have a choice: we can drown in the bad stuff, or we can figure out how to laugh a little bit. Sometimes it’s as simple as just hanging out with your buddies somewhere. That’s what the song is about. Not anything more than just that… and yet, when things are bad, talking about sports, flirting with the girls, not doing much of anything can sure make you feel a whole lot better for a little while – and that can make everything a whole easier to shoulder.
Better As A Memory performance
