This may be in the top 3 of the most simple, yet poignant Country songs ever written. Simple words, you don't need a dictionary like a Police song, or a classical piece of literature like something Iron Maiden might have written. But heavy none-the-less. A great song from a greatly underrated album.
By-the-way, the two ahead of it:
George Jones 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' and Montgomery Gentry's 'Cold One Coming On'; the latter containing the most brief, to-the-point Country lyric ever written; the "Jesus Wept" equivalent of a Country music Bible...
"Makes you want to start thinking, about drinking"; that is every Country song ever written boiled down to its core.
