Songfacts®:

  • This Chris Stapleton, Jeffrey Steele and Craig Wiseman penned song is about loving hard. For Troy Gentry, the track is somewhat biographical. "It kind of still tells the story. I still struggle with some of the demons on the road, with the partying," he said; "but I know at home, I've got someone that anchors me and keeps me humble and keeps me down to earth and is there for me when I need it."
