The song consists of four line stanzas, uses the poetic device of rhyme, and is a narrative that is sung. The song tells the story of George Strait and his wife. They met in third grade and ended up getting married many years later. There is no character development. They do grow older, but he emphasizes how nothing has changed and they still love each other just as much as when they were kids, and that their love for one another never fails or runs out. The song is based on an actual event and contains dialogue. It includes exactly what she said to him in the note that she wrote to him in third grade. The song also has a repeated line or refrain. "Check yes or no" is the refrain and is repeated at the end of the chorus and at the end of the song.
