The song is an up-tempo ode in the genre of country music. It begins in the key of G major with a chorus in the chord pattern G-D-F-C-G. Its verses follow the pattern G-F-C-B-G. At the bridge, the song modulates upward to A major, at which point the chorus of "Can [the Circle Be Unbroken ]" by A.P. Carter is incorporated. After this, the song resumes for one last chorus in the higher key.
