The song reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Judd's mother, Naomi Judd, and Lyle Lovett sing background vocals on the song.

## Content

The song is about a young woman who pursues her desire to become a rock musician (particularly as a guitarist), despite her parents assuming more practical roles for her.

The second and third choruses begin with a reference of the famous guitar riffs of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," respectively.
