The song's success led to Anderson promoting public awareness of drinking and driving through the Florida State Highway Safety Department.[2]
Anderson re-recorded the song for the 1996 compilation NFL Country, a multi-artist compilation album pairing country artists with players in the National Football League. This rendition featured guest vocals from Mike Young.
