The song describes a relationship near its end with a woman the singer had met through a personal ad. He initially fell in love, but she quickly began showing signs of being a bad fit for him: refused to stand for the national anthem, was not a Christian, preferred Barry Manilow music over John Wayne movies, "never cried when Old Yeller died" and ultimately she used profanity in front of his mother. In looking back, he states that he has no intention of crying when she finally decides to leave.
