In an interview with Today's Country Radio, Hunt stated that the idea for the song came when he was thinking about his relationship with his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler. The two had filed for divorce but decided to reconcile instead of following through on the divorce. Taste of Country states that the song's lyrics "tell the story of a single guy who tries hard to keep busy in the city, in hopes of keeping his mind off the relationship he lost. But whenever he's on the outskirts of town, he can't help but reminisce about the woman he loved, and where they might be today if the relationship hadn't ended."[1]
