This country song is about a man trying to move on after dealing with a love loss. In the song, while meeting an old friend of his, the narrator requests that any sensitive topics not to be discussed, specifically "politics, religion, and her", though is willing to talk about topics such as sports, small talk, jokes, and celebrities.
In this sad video, it shows a long-grieving widower whose wife has been deceased for too long. A flower he had once given to his wife has since been wilted. So upset, he throws the dead flower with vase shattering across the barn.Next while picking up some supplies, he overhears some gossip of others why he hasn't been around, nor has he attended church, and why she hasn't been around. The narrator turns back and answers abruptly: "she's been gone too long" and walks away and then drives off.And last scene he drives to the cemetery visiting his late wife's grave and placing fresh flowers on such stone.
