Hear Kenny Chesney’s Reflective New Song ‘Better Boat’

By Chris Parton

Chris Parton

Kenny Chesney offers up a big-picture ballad about learning to overcome what gets you down in the new song “Better Boat,” the third track revealed from his upcoming Songs for the Saints album.

Written by Travis Meadows and Liz Rose and featuring background vocals from “Come to Jesus” singer Mindy Smith, the quiet tune also rings with gut-string guitar lines courtesy of perennial CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally. It’s all about finding positivity and inner strength in the face of adversity, and Chesney says the song’s philosophical theme perfectly captures the emotion of the months following Hurricane Irma, which devastated the U.S. and British Virgin Islands last fall.

“Now and then I let it go / I ride the waves I can’t control / I’m learning how to build a better boat,” he sings in the song’s chorus.

Chesney is back on the road this summer, taking his 2018 Trip Around the Sun Tour through stadiums and amphitheaters with the help of Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion and Brandon Lay. Songs for the Saints is scheduled for release on July 27th, and Chesney plans to donate all proceeds from album to his Love for Love City Foundation, which funds rebuilding projects across the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.

Boats by Kenny Chesney

kenny chesney yacht song

Songfacts®:

  • At this time, Chesney owned two Sea Rays, a 56 and a 60-footer, and in his spare time he was most likely out on the water in one of his boats. This song, which he co-wrote with Dean Dillon and Scotty Emerick pays tribute to his love of being out on the ocean.
  • The song includes the lyric, "vessels of freedom/harbors of healing," which is how Chesney feels when he's riding the waves. "That line came from a gentleman and his daughter I met in St. Croix," he explained in the June 2011 issue of Boating magazine. "I think anybody who has a boat has an emotional attachment to it. It has a way of healing a person and gives him a sense of freedom. That's where I feel the most freedom - and it's helped me heal something that needed healing."

  • Kari from Salt Lake City Lyrics are incorrect. It is not "Now forty feet of sail ANTIQUE", the correct line is "Now forty feet of sail and TEAK" (as any sailor knows...)

Kenny Chesney Come Over Lyrics

I turned the TV off, to turn it on again Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake Talking to myself, anything to make a sound I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over You can say we’re done the way you always do It’s easier to lie to me than to yourself Forget about your friends, you know they’re gonna say We’re bad for each other, but we ain’t good for anyone else I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over We don’t have to miss each other, come over We don’t have to fix each other, come over We don’t have to say forever, come over You don’t have to stay forever, come over I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over (whoa, whoa, whoa) (Whoa, whoa, whoa) (Whoa, whoa, whoa) (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
