Kenny Chesney is rocketing up the charts with his new smash, “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven” — and besides the great groove of the song, part of the reason for its success may just come down to how easy it is to relate to the lyrics. Kenny says, “Everybody wants to go to Heaven; they just don’t wanna go today,” and making the most of the life and time we enjoy, he says, is “kinda what this song is about.” “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven” is the first single from Kenny’s upcoming album, Lucky Old Sun.

• Kenny’s new album will be available in more than one version! In addition to the regular album out on October 21, fans can snap up the deluxe edition of Lucky Old Sun one week earlier — on October 14 — with four, live bonus songs and special, downloadable video material…including the music video for “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven”!

  Kenny Chesney talks about the idea behind his latest smash, “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven.” (:22)
“I think that’s a common thought among people, I think. You know, everybody wants to go to Heaven; they just don’t wanna go today, you know, because I know I want to squeeze as much out of life as I can. And I think everybody does. My family, my friends, my band, my crew, my fans, you know, they love life, and that’s kinda what this song is about.”
