  • Jim from Nipomo, CaLeah, the picture was "taken bout a year after we wed". They had children and lived their life. She died of cancer, he drank for a while, he stopped drinking. He's enjoying the grandkids.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhOh my God. How does someone put the perfect words, the perfect sentiment to a song like this? This song is so deep. So deep. And so true. Love this so.
  • Heather from Huntsville, AlLeah, I've always thought he meant the picture was taken about a year after they got married.
  • Dylan from Port Orange, FlIn my opinion, this was Kenny's last good CD.
  • Leah from Salisbury, Nci don't understand whats up when he says that she was "taken bout a year after we wed" but then goes on to talk about him give her pearls when their son got married...any thoughts?

    leah
  • Danny from Haughton, Lathis is a good song it tells you to take full adavntage of everything while you have it there in your life cause one day it will pass on
  • Samantha from Madison, NcThis is personally my favorite kenny song. I feel that it is his most personal song that hes recorded. I think that you can learn from this song no matter ho old you are or what background you have. thanks for another great one kenny!
  • Katie from Tallahassee, FlI love Kenny Chesney's album Be As You Are. It's a great album to kick back and relax to. If you haven't heard it, you really should. All of the songs are island-themed and show Chesney at his most laid-back self.
  • Nicole from Cave City, KyKenny Looks Like a Turtle W/out His Hat But He Still Sang Good!
    (LOL)
  • Cheryl from Schenectady, NyKenny said this song reminded him of the security guard (Rusty, I believe) at the RCA building where Kenny walked in and out of all the time had a wife who was dying of cancer. When she started to lose her hair she was self conscious about it so Rusty shaved his head to make her feel better about it. Kenny said that's true love.
  • Kevin from Fort Worth, TxKenny Chesney is my favorite country artist by a wide margin. He takes risks a lot of other country artists aren't willing to. I think immediately of his song "That's Why I'm Here" which deals very candidly with alcoholism. He's also not afraid to take on religion DIRECTLY, as in his song "Baptism" (a duet with Randy Travis). It's about just what it sounds like it would be about. He's a cut above the current crop of country artists, in my view.
  • Page from New Orleans, LaI, Personally, Love this song. I believe that it has a good meaning. It can teach all people something at some point. Which is why im considering it for a project...

  • Kelly from Louisville, Kythis song is actually a true story, as far as i know it is about a security guard who worked/works at a recording studio in nashville. his wife died of cancer recently (within the past few years) and this is his story, i found this in a country weekly magazine article sometime between nov. 2002 and may 2003
