Content
The song is about a man who expresses hope after undergoing a number of unfavorable events, such as his car breaking down, by stating that "all things considered, I'm doing just fine." Yankee Grey lead singer Tim Hunt says that he came up with the idea "in about twenty minutes" after becoming angry when his own car broke down. Alan Sculley of The Morning Call describes the song's sound as featuring vocal harmony, a "frisky beat", and "screaming electric guitar and fiddle".[1]
Critical reception
Chuck Taylor, of Billboard magazine gave the song a favorable review, saying that the song "grabs the listener by the ears from the first word and doesn't let go till the final note."[2]
