Troy Gentry described the title track as " a song about American society and making ends meet. It's about being patriotic and showing your faith and the love of family. It's one of those blue-collar songs that we've been known for doing for so long."[1]


Critical reception


Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated it 3 out of 5 stars, stating that " Montgomery Gentry are comfortable where they are, alternating rocking country with strong sentiment."[2]
