Content
The song uses elements of country rap and country rock as well as sexual innuendo to describe a girl who is handling equipment on the farm (e.g. "Throw it in reverse, let Daddy load it up").
Reception
It got a "thumbs up" review from The 9513's Jim Malec, who noted that the lyrics "separated (at least semantically), the inherent innuendo from the song's story itself", as in the final verse, he negates the song's innuendo by singing "ain't no time to play".[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by Wes Edwards and premiered in July 2008.[4]
