The song features guest vocals from Trace Adkins, and its chart run overlapped with his singles "All I Ask For Anymore" and "Ala-Freakin-Bama".

It has a theme of rural pride, in which the narrators state that one does not have to be from the South or Appalachia to enjoy the same pastimes as someone who is ("We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside").

[1] The song is set in the key of G major with a main chord pattern of G-C7-E♭7-C-G. An eight-bar electric guitar solo precedes each verse and the final chorus.

After Laird wrote the opening couplet "Yeah, I got a friend in New York City / He's never heard of Conway Twitty", the two finished the song within two hours.

[1] Bobby Peacock, writing for Roughstock, also said that it was "way more tolerable than almost any other in the recent deluge of like-themed songs" and described the "high-low harmony" of Adkins' and Shelton's voices favorably.

[6] 411 Mania reviewer Mark Ingoldsby was less favorable, giving the song one star out of five, calling it "one more dopey collection of textbook southern culture icons and expressions that is completely predictable and painfully cliché.
