The song is an open critique of the teenage tragedy song and gunfighter ballad genera of the time, humorously quipping that if Marty Robbins, Patti Page and the Everly Brothers actually died in the songs where they mention dying ("El Paso" and "Cathy's Clown" in the first and last respective cases) that the singer will soon be the last surviving musician in the industry. The singer suggests happier themes for songs in the future such as living, loving and dancing.

gollark: It is absolutely not the easiest.
gollark: Performance is important, but security and ease of development are also important, and bees.
gollark: Microfrontends are this incredibly bizarre thing where you split your webapp's frontend code into a bunch of different bits which might not even be using the same JS framework and hope it doesn't break horribly.
