While “Work Boots” is a happier song, the heartbreaking ballad “Watching My Old Flame Go Out” is about a man who realizes that the woman he loves has moved on. He remarks, “It’s the hardest thing watching my old flame go out. If there’s the least bit of a spark left, she doesn’t show it/Yeah she’s movin’ on from me there ain’t no doubt/It’s the hardest thing.”
