In the first verse the song's narrator's woman leaves him and heads out west because she couldn't change him. In the second verse, she starts to think about the quiet country nights with him, and what she thought was so wrong with him had suddenly seemed alright. Then she heads back to him, and she says that when you love someone, you just gotta let it be.
