"Take Me There" is the first single from the band's 2007 album Still Feels Good. Kenny Chesney wrote the song with Neil Thrasher and Wendell Mobley.[1]

Critical reception[edit]
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song both an "A" and "F" grade, writing that "Writing a review of this just seems like an exercise in futility. No fans will be won or lost by this performance. If you enjoy listening to 'I Melt' and 'Fast Cars and Freedom', then you’ll enjoy this. If a part of you died inside when reminded of those records, stay away. Far, far away."[3]

It reached that position on the chart dated for the week ending September 22, 2007 after a ten-week ascent.
