[1] The song was made popular by American country music group the Eli Young Band.

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, saying that it is "poetry set to music" but the lyrics are "difficult to relate to.

"[2] Jonathan Keefe of Country Universe wrote that it's a "good but not great song, given a credible performance by a competent band with the wherewithal not to want to sound like Journey" but "precious few guitar chords in the full duration of the performance actually ring to the full breadth of their tone, giving the single a clipped, tinny sound."

He gave the song a B but the recording itself a D.[3] The music video was directed by Brian Lazzaro and premiered in January 2012.

The song became the group's second consecutive number-one single on the country chart for the week of July 28, 2012.
