In the first verse of this song, Morgan sings about how joining a special yacht club known as the "redneck yacht club". The chorus tells of the amenities:

"Bass trackers, bayliners, and a party barge
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side, there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturfs, lawn chairs, and tiki torches
Regular Joes rockin' the boat, that's us
The Redneck Yacht Club".

Some scenes of the video feature Morgan riding on a boat, singing on the deck, and on a floatation device out in the middle of the lake.
