Lyrics
Well, this water colored sunset's gonna fade right into dark
Anticipation of a sunset marking the end of a relationship.
And this tailgate's gonna rust and this old truck will run out of starts
Symbolizing the deterioration of the relationship with the aging of elements.
Whether I go first or you do, girl, one day we won't be together
Acknowledgment of the inevitable separation, either through death or breakup.
When you look at me, I just don't believe some things can't last forever
Expressing doubt about the permanence of some aspects of the relationship.
I'll quit loving you when country roads don't wind and curve
Pledging to stop loving when fundamental elements like country roads lose significance.
When cold beer don't quench your thirst
Using imagery of a changing landscape to convey the enduring nature of love.
When there ain't an "Amen" in church
Connecting love to religious and cultural symbols like "Amen" in church.
Baby, I'll quit loving you
Reiterating the commitment to love, implying it won't cease easily.
When the sun sets to the east
Setting impossible conditions for quitting love, emphasizing its permanence.
When the sky turns evergreen
Using poetic and unlikely scenarios to emphasize the enduring love.
Baby, don't you ever think
Encouraging the partner not to doubt the persistence of love.
That I'll quit loving you, yeah
Affirming the unwavering nature of love despite potential challenges.
Well, I know it might sound crazy thinking this thing out that far
Acknowledging the potential skepticism and addressing it as the speaker thinks ahead.
Well, that's just how it sounds when a good ol' boy speaks from the heart
Explaining that genuine emotions may sound unusual when expressed sincerely.
Yeah, every night you're first in line each time I count my blessings
Highlighting the partner's significance in the speaker's life.
I'll never quit believing, girl, that you were sent from heaven
Expressing deep belief in the partner being a divine gift.
But I'll quit loving you when country roads don't wind and curve
Repeating the commitment to love amid changing circumstances.
When cold beer don't quench your thirst
Listing more impossible conditions for ending the love.
When there ain't an "Amen" in church
Connecting love to religious settings again, emphasizing its sacred nature.
And baby, I'll quit loving you
Reassuring the partner that love won't diminish with time or circumstances.
When the sun sets to the east
Using nature's changes to symbolize the enduring quality of love.
When the sky turns evergreen
Continuing to use vivid imagery to emphasize the everlasting nature of love.
Baby, don't you ever think
Reiterating the partner's role in sustaining the speaker's love.
That I'll quit loving you, yeah
Emphasizing the certainty that the speaker won't stop loving.
That I'll quit loving you
Repeating the commitment as a strong affirmation.
Yeah, I'll quit loving you when the Mississippi river runs dry
Extending the impossibility to quit love to extreme scenarios like a river running dry.
When Colorado Rockies ain't high
Using geographical features to emphasize the enduring nature of love.
When the Tennessee moon don't shine
Further emphasizing the lasting nature of love with celestial references.
And baby, I'll quit loving you
Reassuring the partner again that love won't diminish under any circumstances.
When the sun sets to the east
Repeating the theme of nature's changes symbolizing the enduring quality of love.
When the sky turns evergreen
Using imagery to convey the lasting and unchanging nature of love.
Baby, don't you ever think
Reiterating the partner's role in the speaker's unwavering love.
That I'll quit loving you, I'll quit loving you
Stating again the impossibility of quitting love, emphasizing its permanence.
Yeah, that I'll quit loving you, yeah. yeah
Repeating the firm commitment to love without wavering.
Yeah, I'll quit loving you
Affirming once more the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
