Longnecks & Short Stories is the third studio album by American country music artist Mark Chesnutt. It was released in 1992 on MCA Records, and like its predecessor Too Cold at Home, it was certified platinum in the United States for sales of one million copies. Four singles were released from this album, all of which were Top Ten hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Old Flames Have New Names" (#5), "I'll Think of Something" (#1), "Bubba Shot the Jukebox" and "Ol' Country" (both #4).
"I'll Think of Something" was originally a Top Ten hit in 1974 for Hank Williams, Jr., who recorded it on his album Living Proof. In addition, "It's Not Over (If I'm Not Over You)" was originally recorded by Reba McEntire on her 1984 album My Kind of Country. Chesnutt would later re-record the latter song for his seventh studio album (1997's Thank God for Believers), with Alison Krauss and Vince Gill serving as background vocalists on the re-recorded version; the re-recorded version was released as that album's second single.
