Content
The song is an up-tempo country song about the different types of people who make up the United States. The song makes reference to work performed, college athletics, trucks, country music and NASCAR.
Paisley worked different college sports team nicknames into the song, including the Mountaineers, Volunteers, Crimson Tide, Seminoles, Longhorns, Wildcats, Wolverines, Tigers (the music video suggests this is referring to Auburn and LSU), Buckeyes, Bruins, Bulldogs, Hogs, Hurricanes, Blue Devils, Tar Heels, Rebels, Fighting Irish and Cavaliers.
He also made note of cheering for different numbers (presumably NASCAR), including 14 (Tony Stewart), 24 (Jeff Gordon), 48 (Jimmie Johnson) and 88 (Dale Earnhardt Jr.).
