Songfacts®:

  • This Steve McEwan and Craig Wiseman penned song finds Chesney retreating to a beach where he can think about how "Time Flies" when he's "sitting in the sun." The singer told CMT that after cutting some of the emotional tracks on Welcome To the Fishbowl, he felt "a piece of the record needed to exhale," which he said this track does. "I think that represents me personally," he continued, "and I think it represents all these thousands of people that are going to be out here. I've had countless people tell me that what me and the guys do up here is their exhale. That's from life, from whatever it is that's weighing them down."
