KENNY CHESNEY: Wouldn’t You Like To Get Away?

audio

Kenny Chesney understands the appeal, and desire to head to a bar at the end of the world, and leave a piece of you there. Kenny knows from experience that bars in Key West, and the Caribbean not only hold memories for people, but they hold the people’s memorabilia. Kenny says that “there’s license plates, there’s shirts hanging everywhere from somebody’s home town, but they want their hometown and they want themselves represented” and it’s being a part of something bigger than themselves that makes it so unique, and that’s what his song “Bar At The End Of World” is all about.

audio  Kenny Chesney describes the desire to leave a part of yourself at a “bar at the end of the world.” (:36)
“You go to any bars in Key West, or you go into the islands and see all these bars where people have written their name on the side of the walls or written their name on…where they’ve given a certain bar their boat flag with the name of their boat on it, and all of them are hanging from the ceilings and everybody has signed them. And there’s dollar bills, there’s license plates, there’s shirts hanging everywhere from somebody’s home town, but they want their hometown and they want themselves represented in such a unique place, and such a beautiful place that holds so much life…and I think we all want to be a part of that. We all want to be a part of places like that, it’s what makes them fun, it’s what makes them so unique.”
