Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven (with The Wailers)

This was written by the Nashville songwriters Jim Collins and Marty Dodson. Collins' songwriting credits include Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and "The Good Stuff." Dodson's credits include Billy Currington's Country #1 "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right."

Chesney explained the song in its press release: "Everything in that song is everything we all think. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go today. If you could pick, you wouldn't pick right now. You'd want to live, to do more things, to have more fun. And that's sort of the point of the song, too. It's one of those songs that says, 'I'm not only not ready, I've got a little bit more fun to have.' It's certainly the way me and the people around me try to live, to pack as much as we can into every day... and it's the way I think our fans are living. You can tell when you get out in the parking lot, these are people who have come to have fun, to make a few memories with their friends, and I think that's a great way to live."

George Strait recorded this for his 2008 Troubadour album, but when he decided not to release it on the album, Chesney decided to record it instead. Strait's version is available as a digital download.
