Songfacts®:

  • Corbin penned this song with Carson Chamberlain and Mark D. Sanders during a writing trip to Colorado. He said: "This was the last song we wrote out in Colorado. We went out to eat and got home and decided to write one more song. I describe this as a cross between George Jones and Steve Earle. I like the lonesome feel. I can imagine this song as a black and white movie."
