Content

Paisley wrote the song with frequent collaborator Chris DuBois and singer Brent Anderson.[1] Rolling Stone described the song as a "nostalgic anthem" and "a mid-tempo tour of the Southern everytown that’s anchored by a brightly picked mandolin, Paisley’s trademark Telecaster twang and a giant, arena-ready 'whoa-oh' chorus."[2] The song is a list of positive imagery of the Southern United States, referring to such imagery as "just another day in Heaven south."[1]

Music video

The video for the song was filmed in Franklin, Tennessee. It features footage of the town square, along with back roads and fields.[1] Starring in the video are Paisley's road band and over 400 extras.[3] He recruited the extras by announcing the video shoot to fans on his Twitter account.[4]
