Give country music a chance

So as most of you know I am a HUGE Kenny Chesney fan. I can't tell you when or why I started listening to his music but I do know I was introduced to it by My Favorite Kacy and the first CD I bought was actually his "Songs from an Old Blue Chair" CD which is not very country at all. After seeing him in concert the first time (ps: Fooch, I am still waiting for the trip to Cabo) I was officially sold... anyway, a lot of people I know roll their eyes or ask "why would you listen to that country crap" so in response to that re-occurring question I submit to you the lyrics to one of my current favorite songs. This is off of Kenny's new album "Lucky Old Sun" and the first time I heard this I was laughing so hard that I had to re-start it again so I could verify I had just heard him correctly. Granted, this is not nearly as entertaining as actually listening to the song, but if you take the time to read this maybe you'll actually give his song a chance and that may very well lead to another fan for the Kenny.

Title : Ten with a Two

Last night downtown I was drinking the booze
like it was going out of style
My whole head got light, I lost my eyesight
I hadn't been that drunk in a while
Now along about one I spotted a queen
and I started to make my move
Oh she was believin every line I was layin
man I was just too cool
Well I thought I'd died and gone to heaven
but Lord did I look like a fool
Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2

Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2
I got 20 / 20 vision when I ain't drinkin
but Lord when I get on that booze
I ain't never gone to bed with an ugly woman
but I sure woke up with a few
Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2

Well I made up my mind I was never gonna find
myself in that condition again
But here I sit on the same bar stool
and just look at the shape I'm in
I done spotted me another queen
sittin at a table alone
So I strolled on over, set myself down
and asked if I could take her home
When she said yes I thought I'd been blessed
but boy did I look like a fool
Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2

Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2
I got 20 / 20 vision when I ain't drinkin
but Lord when I get on that booze
I ain't never gone to bed with an ugly woman
but I sure woke up with a few
Last night I came in at 2 with a 10
but at 10 I woke up with a 2

Now you may laugh but if you got the cash
I bet ya 10 to 1 you have too
