Memorable lyrics include the opening line, "Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag, and everything I own don't fill up half."
The scenes include Strait walking along a highway, hitching a ride with a truck driver, standing in the rain, and missing his significant other back home as a couple on a motorcycle ride by and it shows the clouds, the waters, and the sun, and it shows Strait walking with a truck, during the instrumental break, he drives the truck into the water, and shows him walking down the road, The video ends with Strait picking up the leather bag from the beginning of the video, and leaving an empty auditorium, as the scene switched back to black-and-white.
Using the track as an example, Rivers stated that country music is relatable because it speaks of common occurrences such as heartache and missing loved ones.
