Content

Kenny Chesney says that the song is about "Regrets. In a way, they define us – those things we wish we’d done differently. They can be small things that seemed scary at the time – like skinny-dipping with the girl you really liked, or standing up to a bully – or something that didn’t seem to matter that made all the difference in the world, whether it’s spending more time with a parent before they’re gone or giving in for someone you love."
