Content edit

The song describes Keith's past and early career stages, and when he used to go to his grandmother's nightclub every summer and work until late at night when he got to sit with the band.

Critical reception edit

Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He summed up his review by stating that this song is an example of why Keith doesn't win Grammy Awards.[1]

Music video edit

The music video was directed by Michael Salomon, and premiered on CMT on February 12, 2005. The video begins in 1972, where Keith works at his grandmother's nightclub in Fort Smith, Arkansas when he was a child, and the nightclub was called Billie's. Then, it cuts to Keith performing in the present day (2005), showing photographs of Keith in his younger days, and showing footage of Keith in Baghdad. This video is dedicated to Keith's grandmother, who died in 2005.
