This here's an outlaw country mix that's intended to tell a story. So what we have here is someone raising all kinds of hell drinking. So they get tossed from the bar and then start doing hardcore drugs. Then they struggle with temptation and get into some violent crime. Eventually these shenanigans catch up to our outlaw and they wind up in prison. While there they reflect on how it is they got into this situation and decide emphatically it wasn't mama's fault. Then our outlaw escapes prison and rambles all over the country running from Johnny Law. He's wistful and lonely on the road, and his gal's fed up with him and his sporadic phone calls and his constant absence. Ultimately, our outlaw finds a reserve of resolve and determines to go after what he wants in life with renewed vigor: look out world!
