This song's about a girl whose heart wants to fall in love for a no-good man - a man she's had a history with before. Perhaps he was uncaring, abusive or unfaithful. Whatever the reason, she knows in her head he is bad news. But her heart, being foolish and refusing to yield to her mind's logic, continues to pull at her.
It isn't an easy decision, as she's obviously attracted to him. Yet this time she is determined to leave. She's been burned one-to-many times by this guy.
BTW - I absolutely love Allison Krauss' voice! And, especially, in the opening to this song. She's so musical in so many ways .. tone, emotion, phrasing, tempo - she's got it all and uses it to really communicate the emotion of a song :-)
