Content
The song has a central theme of nostalgia, listing off several notable events which one may encounter for the last time.[1] It is accompanied mainly by a "syncopated guitar riff".[2] Paisley said of the song, "It’s nostalgia, there’s guitar playing, it’s sort of a bunch of different influences come out. You can hear elements of Van Halen and The Police that I just sort of buried and subtly put in there that kind of represent different eras. There’s humor in it...and this song is everything I love about country music."[3] Chris Parton of Rolling Stone wrote that "the tune is built around Paisley’s ace guitar work. His revolving, Police-evoking main riff is doused in slippery twang, but his solo mixes in some arena rock-influenced finger tapping fireworks."[1]
Music video
The music video was directed by Jeff Venable and premiered on CMT, GAC and Vevo in June 2017. Paisley's wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, stars in the video.[3]
