Content

The song's narrator returns home from an unknown location (presumably a tavern or a nightclub), only to find that the house is entirely empty and all of its lights are on. Without the slightest reason, he has discovered that his significant other has permanently abandoned him, but not without writing the word "goodbye" in red lipstick on the living room wall before she leaves - a clear indication that she has become annoyed of the narrator's constant mischievous behavior.

Music video

The music video was directed by Marius Penczner. In the video, a man returns to a pontoon house to find that his significant other has abandoned him, and the word "goodbye" written in red lipstick on the exterior wall of the pontoon, and his belongings destroyed. She also leaves behind a videotape of her destroying his things. At the end of the video, the man drops the television set into the water, since his ex-girlfriend destroyed the television remote control.

Chart performance

The song entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on the week of November 27, 1993, and peaked at number 11 on the week of March 12, 1994.
