In the song, the narrator sings about finally getting a loan and buying a new Chevrolet pickup truck. He suggests to his significant other that they go out into the woods and hang out, breaking the truck in and getting some "mud on the tires." Chevrolet sponsored the product placement in the song.
Music video
The music video features Brad performing the song live at an event called Mudstock while people party and watch from a very muddy terrain. Also during the video, two women argue about whether Brad “plays great” or “looks better” and end up fighting in the mud parodying a Miller Lite commercial as Brad and the late Little Jimmy Dickens watch the commercial and admit they will buy whatever the commercial is selling.
Chart performance
