Content

The song is a ballad about a teenage couple named Katie and Tommy in a small town becoming betrothed. Katie's father does not approve of their relationship ("Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick / when it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick") and after the couple returns home late after a date, he angrily confronts them; but Katie's mother comes to their defense, pointing out to Katie's father that they were no different from Katie and Tommy when they were teenagers and how her own father didn't approve of the relationship, but she married him anyway and that Katie will do the same with Tommy ("he was wrong and honey you are too / Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you").

Music video

The music video was directed by Marc Ball and premiered in early 1991.
