Kenny Chesney

Well, when I was in that club, I just felt restless.

I felt uneasy for some reason.

Everybody was having fun.

And I was looking around at a lot of the guys in my band and some of the guys that I grew up with.

And I don't know why I had this feeling, but I was going, you know, they've all got families and they've all got...

their lives they're building.

And I started not feel bad about for myself or whatever.

I said, that's not, but I'm not doing that.

And I just kept feeling like I needed to leave that club.

And I left the club and I went to the house that Sammy got us overlooking the lights of Cabo.

And I pulled out a notepad, and I pulled my guitar out of the case, and I sat out.

I can still see the table.

It was a round glass table with a pool deck.

And I was out there by myself trying to figure out what it was I was feeling.

I was 36, and I said, I don't have to figure all this out right now.

Whatever you feel in the club, you don't, you know, it's just okay.

It's okay to play at Sammy Hagar's birthday party and this be what you're doing right now.

And I just started writing down everything I was feeling.

And that's where I wrote Beer in Mexico.

I wrote it completely by myself in about a three hour period.
