Written by Jeremy Stover, Randy Montana and Paul DiGiovanni, this song is about growing up in simpler but happier times. The lyrics find Justin Moore traveling down memory lane as he reminisces about "Tonka trucks and G.I. Joes," ensuring his Sunday church clothes are kept clean and a "little bitty" home filled with love.
Though Moore didn't write the song, its message about simplifying our lives reflects how he and his family have been living in the coronavirus era. "Like I'm building a chicken coop right now," the singer said in a media conversation. "We'll have our own fresh eggs. We planted a garden, which has been fun for the kids but has been lesson-teaching - you put work into something, you get something in return. Relying on your neighbors, I mean this is all cliché, cheesy-sounding stuff, but it's true, and it's kind of been our life over the last four or five months."
The song's nostalgic look back at simpler times is a popular theme in country music in an era when many have been forced to slow down. Runaway June's "We Were Rich" and Travis Denning's "Goodyears" are two other 2020 singles that reflect on finding joy in simplicity.
