I'm Alive (with Dave Matthews) Lyrics
(Kenny Chesney)
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars
That I'm alive, and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me, I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see?
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive, and well
Yeah, I'm alive, and well
(Dave Matthews)
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul and there's not a soul in sight
This boat has caught it's wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive, and well
And today, you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see?
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive, and well
Yeah, I'm alive, and well
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars
That I'm alive, and well
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see?
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive, and well
Yeah, I'm alive, and well
It's good for the soul and there's not a soul in sight
This boat has caught it's wind and brought me back to life
And today, you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see?
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive, and well
Yeah, I'm alive, and well

I guess Kenny and Dave are probably my two most favorite artists, but I never realized until this song - Dave's voice just blows Kenny's away. Wow.
you have got to be kidding, dave ruined the song and sounds like a billy goat.

Great song, and i agree with ohplease about the meaning. I actually think Kenny's voice better suits this song, nothing against Dave, i like him too, but Kenny's just fits better.
This song is freakin awesome. Great duo. Self Explanatory makes you truly value life and live every moment up. A common theme in a lot of songs by both artists.
This song actually came from the result of a lot of alcohol one night in the ocean. Kenny supposedly looked at his boat Captain the next morning and asked if he was ok.... the reply was "I'm alive."

Great song and pretty self explanatory, but funny when you know how it came about.

Kenny said, "The most personal song (on the 'Greatest Hits II' album) is 'I'm Alive,' just because of where I was in my life when I wrote it ... I wrote 'I'm Alive' after my breakup with Renée [Zellweger]. I woke up one day and realized, even though I'm going through all this stuff and don't feel good about it, the outer shell of my life is really great. I'm alive; I get to make music; I've got a lot of great friends. That's the message of the song" - Interview with the boot
Wow...Dave makes kenny look like bad lol. But imagine hearing this song on a house boat in the middle of the lake all by your self on a cool night...amazing
