In this deeply emotional track, the artist paints a vivid picture of heartbreak and betrayal. The song narrates the story of a man suspecting his partner's infidelity, with her actions and behavior hinting at a clandestine affair. The 'cheatin' songs' he refers to symbolize the pain and sorrow associated with deceit in relationships, harkening back to classic country music themes from the 1970s. He notes that such songs are making a comeback, just like his partner's unfaithfulness. The reference to diamond rings in her jeans pocket further strengthens his suspicions. Ultimately, this poignant ballad is a lament on love lost and the resurgence of old-school country themes of betrayal and heartache.
