This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Extinction will catch up to you
And there is nothing you can do
What fate surely waits,
Maybe eaten by wolves
In your sleep
Your time is quickly running out
It’s pointless to worry and pout
What fate surely waits
Maybe dying of thirst
Lost at sea
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and not violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night
You’ll soon be dead as a doornail
What stories will your loved ones tell
What fate surely waits
Maybe drowned like a rat
In a latrine
You’ll soon be pushing up daises
Laid in a pine box six foot deep
What fate surely waits
Maybe roasted and served
As a cuisine
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and not violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night
When you meet you maker
Will you still be in one piece
When you take your last bow
Will you fall down on your knees
When you cash in your chips
Will you have your pistol drawn
When the pale horse appears
Will you still have your boots on.
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and not violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
