The song is a personal saga of one American man's rise from "Nowhere, Virginia" to a life in the spotlight and satisfaction as a father.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the track kicks off with a "beautiful trill of mandolin, then continues to build and swell."

She goes on to say that by the time the song hits the chorus, the production has "escalated into a grand, sweeping backdrop that nicely complements the upbeat lyric."

She concludes her review by saying that the song will "kindle pride in the hearts of all who are appreciative of the freedom Americans have to pursue our dreams.

It features Phil Vassar playing a piano and singing the song in the middle of a wheatfield.
