...Yes, I admit I've got a thinkin' problem 
She's always on my mind 
Her memory goes round and round 
I've tried to quit a thousand times 
Yes, I admit I've got a thinkin' problem 
Fill the glass up to the top 
I'll start with lovin' her 
But I don't know when to stop 
I keep on remembering 
How good it used to be 
Gettin' stoned all alone 
On my favorite memory.. 

“"I’m so grateful for all the things that happened to me, all the fantastic people I’ve met over the years, from this collection of songs. To all the people, from Warner Brothers Nashville, to my record producer Blake Chancey, my sincere thanks for making it happen,” said David Ball. “It was a blast for sure." 

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably calling it a "perfect combination of retro sensibility and '90s production, and a pure honky-tonk delight."
