The song is in the key of B-flat major, mainly following the chord pattern B♭-E♭-B♭-F7-B♭. Written by Lovett himself, it was one of four songs included on a demo tape that he submitted to ASCAP's Merlin Littlefield. Described by "The Orlando Sentinel" writer Thom Duffy as "a bit of Texas swing that features a shuffling beat and a fiddle crying like the horn of a passing freight train", the song is about the narrator's pursuit of a cowgirl whom he wants to marry.
