Keg in the Closet Lyrics
We had a dog named Bocephus? living in the front yard he liked sleeping out on the top of
the car he’d drink beer out of the mason jar and he climb up on everyone bed
A white frame house, a college town, a bunch of people always hanging around, no real
problems we need to drown but we tried our best anyway, we went to class just to pass the time
back in eighty nine
[Chorus:]
We had a Keg in the closet pizza on the floor left over from the night before where
we were going we didn’t really care we had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
This old guitar taught me how to score right there on the Lambda Chi porch, Mary Ann taught
me a little more one what you cant have, sweatshirts and flag football, spring breaks down in
panama, for a while we had it all we never dreamed it wouldn’t last, we went to class just to
pass the time back in eighty nine
[Chorus:]
We had a Keg in the closet pizza on the floor left over from the night before where
we were going we didn’t really care we had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
We all kind of went our separate ways, but I swear it seems like yesterday
[Chorus:]
We had a Keg in the closet pizza on the floor left over from the night before where
we were going we didn’t really care we had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
this is kenny describing his years in college. I'm now goin to Western Illinios University and can totally relate to this song. we call this our house's theme song and when we sing it we change the words to:
Fake brick house in a college town, bunch of people always hanging around no real problems we needed to drown but we tried our best anyway...we went to class just to pass the time.....back in zero five.....we had a Keg in the kitchen, pizza on the floor, left over from the night before where we were goin we didn't have a clue we had all we ever wanted in that keg in the kitchen.....This old guitar taught me how to score...right there on that 712 porch.....sweatshirts and a game of bagoo...spreaks breaks down in panama.....for a while we had it all we never dreamed it wouldn't last....we went to class just to pass the time......back in zero 5555555555555.!!!!!!......love this song....one of kenny's best.
I love this song. It just makes you feel good whenever you hear it. I'm in my last year of high school and this song makes me excited about college, I can't wait!!
I'm going to uni for my first year in September and I can only hope that it will be like this!
Guess this line gets me most: "No real problems we need to drown but we tried our best anyway"
Yes, I agree - this line gets me the most too.

This is my favorite Kenny Chesney song. Keg in the closet is a song about his college life. He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha frat and one of the restrictions was no KEG parties. So therefore they would hide them in the closet. All of the things he talks about in the song relates to doing things with his fraternity brothers and living up the college life. Great song!!
I'm not big into country, but this song kicks ass. He's singing about his days in college in his fraternity. I'm in a fraternity as well. Not the same one that Kenny is in, but I can still relate to this song big time. I'm getting close to graduation, but I'll always be able to put on this song and reminisce back to my days in college
