Reflections: Old Blue Chair by Kenny Chesney

I love this song because it sort of relates to my way of thinking. Maybe you can relate (plus you gals can see Kenny's bod ;) )


There's a blue rockin' chair,
sittin' in the sand.
Weathered by the storms,
and well oiled hands.
It sways back and forth,
with the help of the winds.
Seems to always be there,
like an ol' trusted friend.

I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs.
Looked at my life, where it's goin', where it's gone.
I've seen the world, through a bus windshield.
But nothing compares,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
when I sit in that Old Blue Chair.

From that chair I've caught
a few fish and some rays,
and I've watched boats sail,
in and out of Cinnamon Bay.
I let go of a lover,
that took a piece of my heart.
Prayed many times for forgiveness,
and a brand new start.

I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs.
Looked at my life, where it's goin', where it's gone.
I've seen the world, through a bus windshield.
But nothing compares,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
when I sit in that Old Blue Chair.

That chair was my bed one New Year's night,
when I passed out from too much Malibu and diet,
and I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites. I swear.
Got 'em all sittin' right there, in the Old Blue Chair.

There's a blue rockin' chair,
sittin' in the sand.
Weathered by the storms,
and well oiled hands.

Okay...first of all let me say Sandy & I are also beach people who live in North Gerorgia. This cd is one of my very favorite cd's in the world. The music and melodies of all the songs are so good. It puts me in that beach state of mind. I love all the songs on that cd but my favorite is "She's from Boston".

Eric and Angie... I think we are kindred spirits!

Angie, I don't know if I got a chance to tell you how sweet it was for you to pray for Ella through this ordeal. I hope to get to know you better on our trip to Gatlinburg. I loved reading your blog. I can see where you would miss your home town, how beautiful!! Thanks for your sweet messages. Angela
