Critical reception
Billboard described the work of Joe Walsh as a "wailing through the rocker that has a subtle country rock flavor", praised the guitar and a vocal performance.[1] Cash Box said that Walsh plays "red hot guitar" and there is "plenty of power packed into the gut-grabbing chording."[2]
Background
Unlike the other tracks on the film's soundtrack, it does not have much to do with country music—despite its reference to chewing tobacco: "Keep a-grinning 'til the weekend comes / Just a pinch between your cheek and gum."[3]
Chart performance
Weekly chartsOne month before the film Urban Cowboy on May 11, the single entered the Billboard's Hot 100 chart at the position #74; and on July 20 it peaked at #19 (for 2 weeks) and spent 16 weeks on the Hot 100, making it one of Walsh's highest-charting solo singles.[4] On the Canadian pop singles chart, it reached #13 for three weeks.[5]
