Content

The narrator is a man who is describing his difficulty in trying to keep his lover from leaving him. He uses various metaphors to illustrate his point. For example, in one verse, he compares the situation to throwing a pebble into the Rio Grande, stating that he could "throw in a million more and not slow it down".

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A- grade, saying that he liked the "rise and fall in intensity, [and] the delicate intertwining of the electric guitar and the steel."[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, and features Bentley standing by a river, and him and his band playing in the middle of a railroad track in a tunnel. It also features Bentley and his (only in the video) wife fighting and her packing her bags. It also shows them having sexual activity.
