Kenny Chesney- "Reality"

Kenny Chesney’s song “Reality” is currently the number seven song according to Billboard.com. This title of this song is basically the meaning of the whole song. It describes life and how it can be an up and down thing. It talks about the good and bad things in life and how reality is different for everyone.

“Reality” is from the album “Hemingways Whiskey” which has produced many other top hits including “Boys of Fall” and “You and Tequila.” According to Taste of Country, Kenny has been thinking about using the title Reality for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity. Kenny decided to write this song on his trip to the dentist office, when they gave him anesthesia to put him to sleep and he says he remembers thinking it was his escape from reality.

For me it's a beach bar
Or on a boat underneath the stars
Or with my band up on a stage
For a while everything's okay

For some it's a fast car
Moonshine in a mason jar
And everybody has their way
Somehow to escape

Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality

Yeah, some days it's a bitch, it's a bummer
We need a rock and roll show in the summer
To let the music take us away
Take our minds to a better place

Where we feel that sense of freedom
Leave our worries behind, we don't need 'em
All we need is a sunny day and an old tailgate
And we'll escape

Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality

Everybody raise your hands and voice tonight
Set your soul free, let's take a carpet ride
We'll leave it all behind

Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality

Come on everybody, break free
Come on everybody, break free
