The song was also the first independently distributed single to notch a second week at number one since 1977 when the Kendalls spent four weeks at the top with `` Heaven 's Just a Sin Away. '' Morgan told Billboard, `` What the fans say and what we hear is that I make a big deal out of the little things in life. And that is who I am. It 's those little things in life that are important to me. Simple things like the smell of fresh cut grass. That what ' Sunday ' was about. '' Mark Narmore and Adam Dorsey wrote the song while meeting at a Chinese restaurant. In an interview with Country Weekly magazine, Narmore said that many of the people mentioned in the song are based on real - life family and friends : `` My mother 's name is Betty... and the kid that broke the window is based on something that happened when I was about 10 years old. '' Adam adds, `` Our best friends at church are the Martins, though they do n't have a mean freckle - faced kid. '' Content A mid-tempo ballad, `` That 's What I Love About Sunday '' is an ode to typical southern Sunday activities, such as attending church services, fishing, playing a back yard game of football, eating a traditional Sunday dinner, and relaxing with family. Music video The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered in November 2004.
