Kenney Chesney shares some photos of from his high school football playing days in his new video "The Boys of Fall."

Kenny Chesney recently unveiled his Boys Of Fall documentary on high-school football, which dovetails quite nicely with his current hit.

But music isn’t the only thing the film overlaps with — it also carries some symbolism for life. Winning, losing, overcoming adversity, working with others, maintaining focus — those are all themes in sports and in the everyday stories of average people.

“I knew that I was not gonna play college football — I knew that there would be an end,” Kenny says. “That’s just like life, too. John Madden, when I was interviewing him, said the best thing. He goes, ‘You know, football is just like life. When you’re playin’, you think you’re gonna play forever.’ And when you’re really playin’ — a lot of my buddies are playin’ football, you know — they’re in the moment. Even in high school, you’re caught up in the moment, and you think you’re gonna play forever, but you’re not. And I think that this song really puts a lot of my life in there.”

“The Boys Of Fall” is the first single from the next chapter in Kenny’s creative life. The Hemingway’s Whiskey album is due Sept. 28.
