Extended harmonica and acoustic guitar trade-offs, which were abridged on the single edit, finish off the song.

The verses feature a repeating pattern of A and D chords for three lines before ending on the chord progression G-D-A, while the chorus follows the progression C♯m-D-C♯m-F♯m-C♯m-D-G-E.[3] The music video for this song begins with a static screen on the TV, then the camera zooms out, revealing it is coming from a TV.

The scene then shows Black in bed with his pajamas, singing and playing a harmonica, as a band is shown through his outside window.

The second verse shows Wariner watching TV and playing guitar in the living room of his house.

In addition, it spent four non-consecutive weeks at Number One on the RPM Country Tracks charts in Canada.
