Just to hammer home that point, the lyrics continue: "How to chase forever down a driveway / How to never let it get there in the first place / And yeah, I know a boy / Who gave up and got it wrong / If you really love a woman, you don't let her go / Well, I know a few things a man oughta know / Yeah, I know a few things a man oughta know" (via Genius). These lyrics, written by Lainey Wilson, Jason Nix, and Jonathan Singleton (via New Country Songs), send a clear message from the jilted lover to the man who let her down: "I know how to put in the work and the love it takes to keep a relationship together, which is something you should also know, but clearly, you don't. I didn't give up, but you did."
In a recent interview about the song, Lainey herself confirmed this, saying, "It's not about if you can change a tire or start a fire. It's about having a good character. It's about treating people the way you want to be treated" (via CMT). Now, the music video accompanying the song is up for the "Breakout Video of The Year" CMT Award (via CMT). If you want to vote for this video to win or want to check out the other nominees, you can do so on the CMT Website.
