Read the lyrics for “Burn My Boat” by Kenny Chesney. Co-produced by Buddy Cannon, Kenny Chesney. The narrator describes finding himself in an “uncharted” place he never imagined, realizing he is exactly where he belongs . The chorus turns the metaphor into an act of finality: “Take this heart and light it, send it up in smoke / I think I found my island, and burn my boat” . The song is a statement of intent for an album that, as Chesney put it, comes from “some places I’ve never gone” .
