up for days
Kenny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape
And that I've been waking up alone
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling
That you ain't ever coming home

But today,
The tears ain't gonna hit the floor
'Cause the boat's in the bay
And it's calling my name
So I'm heading on out the door

'Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day

When I turned the ignition
I knew I'd be missing
The feel of the wind on my face
I was stuck in a habit
Of wondering what happened
Too busy taking all the blame

Got a drink, or two,
It's a fool proof remedy
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl
Kind of making eyes at me

'Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day

Yeah, the music's too good,
My friends are all out
And they're all too high to be bringing 'em down
If they ask about you
I've got nothing to say
I'll save it for a rainy day

They'll be plenty of time for what if's and why's
And how'd I let you get away
But the lying in bed all stuck in my head
Is just gonna have to wait

'Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day

Yeah, the music's too good,
My friends are all out
And they're all too high to be bringing 'em down
If they ask about you
I've got nothing to say
I'll save it for a rainy day

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away




Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kenny Chesney's song "Save It for a Rainy Day" speak of a man who is dealing with heartbreak after his significant other has left him. He wakes up alone, with just the television to keep him company, and a feeling that she won't be coming back. However, he decides to focus on the good things in life, such as the sunny day outside, the beautiful girl who's making eyes at him, the cold beer he's drinking, and his friends who are all out having a good time. He decides to take this heartbreak and put it aside, waiting for a rainy day when he can think about it more. He doesn't want to dwell on what went wrong or what he could have done differently, so he decides to enjoy the present moment and let the future take care of itself.


The first verse of the song describes the loneliness and sinking feeling that come from being abandoned by someone we love. The man in the song has been left to deal with his heartbreak all on his own, with only the TV as a distraction. However, he makes the decision to focus on the good things in life and take advantage of the beautiful day outside. The chorus includes the repeating phrase "save it for a rainy day," which is a reminder that there will be plenty of time later to deal with the heartbreak, and that sometimes it's okay to put our problems on hold and enjoy the present moment. The second verse continues to focus on the positive aspects of life, such as good music, good friends, and the beauty of the world around us.

[chorus] x2


i been I been I been I been

I been up for days now

I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus

lost up in a haze now

but I can't I can't I can't

i can't stop I'm my way now

I been on my motherfucking paperchase for days now


[verse 1]


when I started only had a couple dollars in my wallet

wasn't nothin in my stomach

felt a little bit nauseous


so hungry I'm starving

stuck in this fucking apartment

how I'm living in juxtaposition to everything that I wanted


man fuck that shit

why would I slum that shit

when I know that I could be the one to run that shit


and I ain't even tryna fuck that bitch

girl I got back home, you can't touch that shit


so here I go, I'm on a roll

wonder when the curtains close, man I don't know,

I been busy doing shows

like coast to coast

try to go toe to toe

or flow for flow

and you'll end up comatose

from overload

scramble you easy

you beneath me bro


my shit got substance

you got nothing really

much past mumbling

like you OD

I done got something

you can't hope to clone

you a damn lie

that life's a lonely road


now you just drowning

homie grab a rope

cause I'm just trolling

and you choking

man you know


[chorus] x2


i been I been I been I been

I been up for days now

I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus

lost up in a haze now

but I can't I can't I can't

i can't stop I'm my way now

I been on my motherfucking paperchase for days now


[verse 2]


I been up for days now yeah

paper chase now yeah

Poppin Addie's drinking Henny to the face now yeah


you won't ever see me, aye

till I'm on the tv, aye

and they don't know this, yeah

but looks are deceiving, like


boutta hit my line and never call back

all of these nights and I fall back

sleepless I'm tossing and turning

grinding it out where the ball at


all of the greatness you saw that

rest of them saving their face

rest of them staying afraid

running we winning this race


I remember all the nights we spent

when we was rolling up and we was writing shit

smoking it up it stays always lit

sell a bit, take a hit


never gave a fuck, celibate

never frontin, us paid and shit

always in the cut posted up

pray to God I hope I'm making it


[chorus] x2


i been I been I been I been

I been up for days now

I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus I'm jus

lost up in a haze now

but I can't I can't I can't

i can't stop I'm my way now

I been on my motherfucking paperchase for days now
