Meaning Behind the Song

Written by Walt Aldridge and James LeBlanc, the song is simply about an unexpected love story of two people who don’t care about breaking the rules and being irresponsible just to have the best time of their lives.

The song describes a man unexpectedly meeting a woman when he takes a quick break at a Johnson City, Tennessee, truck stop. They suddenly become comfortable with each other, so when they leave town, the woman goes on to rob a convenience store while telling the man to drive away. 

But since the man has now unexpectedly fallen in love with the woman, he decides to give her a hand on her crime. As a result, both of them were arrested for robbery while they were counting all the money they had stolen.

The song simply shows that sometimes, when you are madly in love with someone, you would do anything and everything for them, even if that someone is already doing something bad.
