The song is Walker's eleventh single release, as well as his eleventh Top Twenty hit on the Billboard country singles charts.
The song is about male narrator who wants to get over his former relationship by burying his love and his memories in the ground so he won't have to think about his former lover anymore.
Larry Flick of Billboard described the song "There is almost a swampy mooodiness to the melody, yet the production is brisk and the production taut. A sure bet to perk up programmer's ears".
