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.
