[2]Me and You is the third album released by country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released in 1996. Although its lead-off single "Back in My Arms Again" failed to make Top 40, the album's title track and "When I Close My Eyes" both reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 1996. The title track was reprised from Chesney's previous album. "Back Where I Come From" is a cover of Mac McAnally's 1990 single from his album Simple Life, while "When I Close My Eyes" was previously recorded by Restless Heart lead singer Larry Stewart on his 1993 debut album Down the Road. "It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye" was previously recorded by singer Wynonna Judd on her eponymous debut album.
