Considered a women's anthem, the song finds Clark singing about all of the things she would do if she could get away. Several versions of the song were recorded for broadcasting in different American cities, replacing the standard "see the Yankees play ball" lyrics with local baseball and/or football teams. The Washington, DC version references the Washington Redskins NFL team, Baltimore's version references both the NFL Ravens and MLB Orioles, and Pittsburgh's version the NFL Steelers.

magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the song is "marked by Clark's effervescent delivery and a well-written lyric that is instantly relatable." She adds that initially, Clark's performance "reverberates with the frustration often produced by the tedium of daily living, but when she romps into the chorus and unleashes her litany of hopes, dreams, and desires, the longing in her vocal is palpable." She concludes her review by saying that it is "one of those fee-good songs that is an immediate musical motivator sure to make listeners shake off their doldrums and reach for that brass ring-or perhaps the nearest shot of tequila."
