The song is an up-tempo tune, in which the narrator lists off various traits of a "country boy," such as his work ethic and leisure activities.

Music video
The accompanying music video for this song was directed by Potsy Ponciroli and premiered during CMT's Big New Music Weekend on October 2, 2009, and on GAC a month later. In the video, which was shot both in black-and-white and in color, Currington is performing in concert (black-and-white) in Louisville, Kentucky, and he is boating, fishing, and riding around with his band (color). The last scene is someone snoring on a plane that is then seen flying away. All the acting was filmed in Key West, FL, while the concert (which brought in about 10,000 fans) was filmed in Louisville, KY during Billy's 2009 tour.

The video entered at #19 on CMT's Top Twenty Countdown on December 4, 2009, about two months after its release.

Critical reception
Bobby Peacock of Roughstock criticized the song for its theme, but added that Currington "gives a typically rock-solid vocal performance." Tara Seetharam of Country Universe gave the song a C+ and a less positive review, stating that she'd "much rather have Currington tell me how country boys roll than have Jason Aldean preach to me how country girls roll… but then again, I’d much rather hear Alan Jackson’s genuine story of a small town southern man than listen to either." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic, in his review of the album, referred to the song as a "straight-up redneck anthem" and a "perfectly fine tune."
