It's funny, he's a Detroit boy and I'm an East Texan, but somehow we wrote a song about the Wild West together.

[4] Angela Stefano of Taste of Country explained that the song is about "longing for life in the wild West".

[5] Casey Young of Whiskeyriff called the song "a country version of Beyoncé's hit "If I Were a Boy".

[6] Clayton Edwards of Outsider said that it "[is] steeped in classic Western sound with a modern flair", describing the lyrics as "Lambert daydreaming about being a cowboy".

It showcases Lambert "riding a horse, driving a vintage pickup truck", and enjoying the leisurely western life.
