About this song
Bentley co-wrote the song with his producer Brett Beavers and Deric Ruttan, and it was released in April 2003 as the debut single from his self-titled debut album. It became his first number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in September 2003. Bentley said the story was based on a similar adventure he had while working as a staffer at The Nashville Network in the late 1990s, when he trespassed at the Grand Ole Opry House.
What it's about
The narrator recalls a wild night escaping with Becky, a girl from south Alabama, who keeps drawing him into foolish activities. The night includes a truck chase, a brawl with a large man, and a tense return to her father's driveway, leaving him asking what he was thinking.
