The lyrics are nostalgic, heart-warming and personal, where many listeners (who have moved out of their hometown) can easily relate to them.
“Take me to the Flora-Bama, and set me up at the mullet toss, and everybody drinks on me I don’t care what it cost, but take me to Talladega, spread my ashes in turn three, paint my casket black with a big ass number three, I’ll rest in peace, if they bury me in Dixie,” Green sings.
His well-crafted music video for the song was directed by David Pennington, and it is worth more than just a passing glance.
