Songfacts®:

  • This Keith Gattis penned song is an ode to Randy Rogers Band's home state. "There's these great classic country songs about Texas, and we've never really had one," Rogers told the Wall Street Journal. "I feel very comfortable having this be my salute-to-Texas anthem."
  • The music clip is a tribute to one of the band's favorite Texas cities, San Antonio. "This video reflects our personality as a band and the city's importance to us," Rogers said. "We stopped at some of our favorite spots in town. Some of our best nights have been spent in San Antonio. Viva San Antone!"
