The song was Alabama's 21st â and as it turned out, final consecutive â chart-topper in a string that dated from August 1980's "Tennessee River". The follow-up single, the semi-autobiographical "Tar Top," peaked at number seven that November, breaking the streak. A new streak would be started in early 1988 with the song "Face to Face".
This song is unrelated to Stan Bush's song of a similar title from 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.
