	oh and tugit, God made the moon shine

No Picture Avinash Average	#2 by Avinash Dutta at Jun 20, 1975 at 5:39 AM EST
	i agree with jazzy09, my favorite line of this song is "blue eyes on a saturday night, tan legs in the broad daylight." this song makes me love the country!

No Picture Dudevill Average	#3 by Dudevill at Sep 1, 1976 at 12:14 PM EST
	i love this song, i haven't heard it in a couple years, but as soon as i saw it, i knew every word. i used to want to be in the city all the time, but as im getting older and think back on all the great times i had in the middle of nowhere, theres no place id rather be. i mean, where else can you walk from your house to the river in the middle of the night with no worries? or ride horses down the road? in my little town, everyone knows everyone else's business, but hey, at least you have people that care about you instead of total strangers, right?

No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#4 by Tony Danza at Mar 20, 1981 at 10:58 AM EST
	I remember Kenny saying he wrote this about where he grew up.. I can so totally relate to it. I may say i hate where i live right now..but the truth is, i know no different and probably wouldn't know how to survive in the city.

No Picture Joshua Wanna Be	#5 by Joshua Osprey at Aug 3, 1982 at 5:21 PM EST
	I remember at the Dale Earnhardt Tribute concert where Dale Jr got up and sang with Kenny Chesney.

No Picture bob Average	#6 by bob fred at Apr 7, 1997 at 2:29 AM EST
	"Blue eyes on a saturday night, tan legs in the broad daylight" is my favorite line in this song! It just really makes you think. I LOVE the way he sings this song on his greatest hits CD. I am going to see him in concert on the 11th!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#7 by chris valverde at May 25, 1999 at 11:42 AM EST
	This song is SO about my hometown... I was born in a one-horse town, then my parents moved us away. Now that I'm older, I've been back to hang out with my old friends, and I realize every time I'm back there that my small country town is so much more memorable to me than the big city I ended up living in. My favorite line? "I know who made the moon shine too back where I come from." And yeah, the only thing they left out? That first kiss with your true love is always where your heart belongs, just like your home town... WHAT AN AMAZING SONG by SUCH a sexy singer!

	Although I'm a die hard skynyrd fan, this goes down as my favorite song of all time. I grew up in a small racist town and i relate to everypart of this song. In the town where I was raised Clock ticks and the cattle graze--------- I lived on a farm and my entire family raised Time passed with amazing grace---------cattle. it seemed like time passed forever Back where I come from. You can lie on a riverbank Paint your name on a water tank-------------laurel river. look @ my pics. you could get Miss count all the beers you drank---------away with shit like painting your name on a Back where I come from.-------------------water tank and drinkin way too much Back where I come from, Where I'll be when it is said and done,------------------------this says it all I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from. We learned in a sunday school Just who made the sun shine through----------Laurel United Methodist Church... almost I know who made the moon shine too---------every sunday Back where I come from Blue eyes on a saturday night Tan legs in the broad daylight--------------some of the prettiest girls you can imagine Tv's they were black and white-------------down there. I actually new people with black Back where I come from--------------------and white tv's. (in the 90's!) Back where I come from, Where I'll be when it is said and done,----------------- this makes it my fav song I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from. Some say it's a backwards place--------------------very true and i do make it a point Narrow minds on a narrow race BUT I MAKE IT A POINT TO SAY, THATS WHERE I COME FROM! That's where I come from, Where I'll be when it is said and done,-----------------------makes me miss home I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from. That's where I come from I'm an old tennesseean-------------------------this is the only part that i don't relate to... I am as proud as any one that's where I come from-----------------cause laurel is in IN Back where I come from Back where I come from------------------------------- enough said Back where I come from this song is so amazing. Kenny chesney didn't originally sing this song tho. a man by the name of mack macenaly (idk how it's spelled) wrote and sang this song way before kenny chesney. i think kenny does it best tho.

No Picture John Wanna Be	#10 by John Merritt at May 17, 2007 at 10:26 AM EST
	My favorite is also "I know who made the moon shine too", though I wonder who that is.
