Songfacts®:

  • Justin Moore used to have a wild side to him, but that all changed when he married his wife, Kate, in 2007. On this romantic song, he sings of putting his rowdy ways behind him because of his lady.

    With a woman you love, you'll get home at a decent hour
    Don't need to look no more 'cause you finally found her


    Moore said the song speaks to people like him and his buddies, who used to be rough and untamed. They're the sort of guys who would never hold a purse or let a little dog sleep in the bed, but once you find the woman you love, it all changes... for the better.
  • Moore penned the song with his producer, Jeremy Stover, and frequent collaborators Paul DiGiovanni and Chase McGill. Other songs written by the foursome include "The Ones That Didn't Make It Back Home" and "Jesus and Jack Daniels."
  • This isn't the first song where Moore sings about putting his wild side behind him after finding love. His 2013 single "Point At You" has a similar theme.
  • Justin Moore got the idea for the song when he was driving his truck. He shared it with Jeremy Stover, Paul DiGiovanni and Chase McGill during a writing session in Florida. "You know, we're a group of married guys," he told The Boot. "We're talking about the fact that all that stuff you say, like, 'Hell, I'd never go to the mall and hold her purse' - all these things you think you'd never do, well, you will with a woman you love."
