According to legend, Walker was in the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming one evening and heard either Wall (who was also a bartender at the bar) or Kip Attaway performing the song. He then asked whichever it was to come to his hotel room later to teach him the song.

The song's narrator describes that he "was raised in a sophisticated kind of style", but likes his women "just a tad on the trashy side," and shares various stories and explanations of why he does. One of these is a story about his parents being surprised at the fact that his prom date was a "cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig".
