Critical reception[]

Billboard described the work of Joe Walsh as a "wailing through the rocker that has a subtle country rock flavor", praised the guitar and a vocal performance.[1]

Background[]

Unlike the other tracks on the film's soundtrack, it does not have much to do with country music—despite its reference to chewing tobacco: "Keep a-grinning 'til the weekend comes / Just a pinch between your cheek and gum."[2]
