The song was originally written for and offered to superstar Kenny Rogers who (even though he liked the song) turned it down saying he didn't feel comfortable singing it as it didn't match his style (or as Rogers later put it himself in an interview with British Country music magazine "Country Music International", "I didn't feel comfortable singing about chickens pecking the ground").[citation needed] Kenneth Donald Kenny Rogers (born August 21, 1938, in Houston, Texas) is a prolific American country music singer, photographer, producer, songwriter, actor and businessman. ...


The song was picked up by Yearwood for her 1991 debut album. It is a story song and tells the tale of a young couple in love, named as Katie and Tommy. However the father objects to his daughters choice of fiance ("Her Daddy say's he ain't worth a lick, when it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick"). The song concludes with Katie's father about to lose his temper after the two get engaged, however, Katie's mother interrupts, telling her husband:

It wasn't very long ago
You yourself was just a hay seed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to hoe
My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains you got the short of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
