Kenny Chesney's Song Back Where I Come From
Back Where I Come From When you are walking through a store or getting the mail, how many people do you know? Not many would be I guess. Well back where I come from that would be the opposite, for the most part there is are less people you don’t know, then people you do know. Kenny Chesney, a country singer, sings a song called “Back where I Come From;” this songs describes my home town to the letter. The lyrics start by: “ well in the town where I was raised the clock ticks and the cattle graze”
Theres only one main way to get in and out of my town unless you have a great four by four vehicle to get in any other way. When driving down the road the first clues that you are getting close are the fields full of cattle and with cattle comes that distinguished scent. I mean the field next to the school, which is K through 12, has cattle in it.

    “Don’t blink” by Kenny Chesney is about living life to the fullest and making every moment count. Life goes by fast and if you just blink time will go by quicker than you think. The song first starts out with the lyrics “I turned on the evening news, saw a old man being interviewed, turning a hundred and two today, asked him what's the secret to life”. With these lyrics, Kenny Chesney is saying that instead of naming events about life he would change, the man talks about not blinking. By the phrase not blinking, he means that you should always live your life and never let anything hold you back. It is important to be proud of the life you have lived so far, and not wish to go back and change anything. By saying “cause when your hourglass runs…
