[edit] Content
The narrator deals with frustrations, such as being cut off in traffic and having to wait at the dentist's office, by wishing that he were on "some beach, somewhere." The song's title is a double entendre, playing on a Southeastern U.S. dialectal form of the epithet "son of a bitch" ("som' bitch").[1]
[edit] Music video
The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and features Shelton driving a pickup truck down a freeway, trying to park the truck, and going to the dentist.
