The song, written by Gilbert, Brock Berryhill, and Michael Hardy, is an ode to reaping the benefits that working can get you.The chorus, "It can put a Rolex on a redneck / It can put some inches on your big black Chevy / It can put a Yeti on your back deck, slap full of longnecks / Camo on your brand new Benelli", is full of references to the benefits of working on the job.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine, reviewing the album for Allmusic, gave it three stars out of five.He said that the production and lyrics were largely uninspired, and that most of the songs were mid-tempo in nature, but added that Morgan's "cured country croon" kept the material from sounding too much like pop music.
