Content
The narrator talks about quitting smoking, drinking, and women. He states "it was the worst 15 minutes of [his] life", and shows that he couldn't last long without them.
Critical reception
Pierce Greenberg of Engine 145 viewed the song favorably, comparing it to Kevin Fowler's and Brad Paisley's styles and saying, "Likely to be a crowd favorite, it's a song that shows the same kind of thoughtful, clever hook that those artists have built careers around." Todd Sterling of Allmusic called it a "honky tonk mashup" and said that it had "a ton of heart" even if it was "calculated".
