Content
The song is a ballad in which the narrator reflects on his life as a troubadour, feeling that he is content with what he has accomplished ("I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song / I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone").[1]

In August 2008, Strait released a music video for the song. Directed by Trey Fanjoy, the song's video alternates between footage of him singing, and shots of archived photos from various points in his career.
