Before Aldean released his version, Tracy Byrd had recorded a version in 2004 for a Greatest Hits album. But he never released the song as a single. Which begs the question why was it on a Greatest Hits album if it was never a hit for Byrd?
It was a top 10 for Aldean and peaked out at #6 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart. The song received some critical reviews but I think it has a great driving beat. A bit high to sing for me however.

Kirby Style
The song only has three chords, and they are D, C and G using drop D tuning. It starts out with a melody riff that is carried on throughout the song in various places. I modified the guitar break somewhat and at the end of the song, extended nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, which Aldean sings once, to 4 times in total.
All of the guitar work is explained in detail in my instructional tutorial (see the link below).

Same when you play the G you'll move from the G note twice to the F, E and then back to the D chord.
