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 comftable 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 comftable singing about Chickens pecking the ground").
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 loose his temper after the two get engaged, however, Katie's mother interrupts with some advice, 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 ho. 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".
The song has a rich and moral point ("What's meant to be will always find a way") and topped the charts in 1991.
