Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "what takes this song past ordinary is Moore’s grave vocals and story-telling ability."[2] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song a favorable review, calling it "another strong mood-setting, sing-a-long ready country/rocker."[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in September 2012.[4] The video starts with Moore playing a mechanic who gets into an argument with his boss (played by Moore's real-life manager Shawn McSpadden).[5] It then follows him picking up his girlfriend from a diner and taking her to a late night barn party where he performs. The video also follows a group of men stealing a keg from a beer delivery truck driver and taking it to said party.
