Kenny Chesney‘s new single “Bar At The End Of The World” is about finding a place where you can be a part of something bigger. Kenny says that “Bars are unique places because they allow you to live your life, they allow you to connect with people” and if you find the right bar where you leave a piece of yourself, or “write your name on a dollar bill like the song says and date it…To be able to stamp your life in a small way in a place like that and to leave and come back…because you want to know that that dollar bill is still there, and if it is, that makes you feel great and it makes you feel even better about the place.” Kenny knows from experience what it is to have a place or two like that in your life, and have a home at a bar at the end of the world.
Kenny Chesney talks about the special connection someone can have with a bar. (:49)
“Bars are unique places because they allow you to live your life, they allow you to connect with people and to let go of people. Being able to write your name on a dollar bill like the song says and date it, and staple it to the side of the wall or to the side of the bar or on the ceiling where there are flags and license plates and life and saltwater everywhere and salty air and it’s just this layer of life throughout the place. To be able to stamp your life in a small way in a place like that and to leave and come back. It’s always interesting to watch human behavior because you want to know that that dollar bill is still there, and if it is, that makes you feel great and it makes you feel even better about the place and there’s a lot of those places. In my own life there is.”
