This One
Marty Stuart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, close that suitcase, let's turn this thing around
We've got everybody talking all over town
But if you have to leave, well, keep one thing in mind
Oh, this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

There's a bottle on the table, to help me understand
How love can go so wrong between a woman and a man
But just beyond the door, here's what you will find
Girl, this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can't walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
'Cause this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can't walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
'Cause this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

You can't walk away from true love




Leave your feelings all behind
Ah, this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

Overall Meaning

The repetition of "a long, long time" emphasizes the difficulty of moving on and the weight of the situation. Overall, the song conveys the sadness of a break-up where both parties are fully aware of the devastating consequences.

@@TheWatcherxx99 Daniel 2:11-14

King James Version

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.


3  The man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman, and the wife should do the same for her husband: 4  for a girl who marries no longer has full right to her own body, for her husband then has his rights to it, too; and in the same way the husband no longer has full right to his own body, for it belongs also to his wife. 5  So do not refuse these rights to each other. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so that they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards, they should eat together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7: 3-5 Living Bible (TLB)


Ephesians 5:28
That is how husbands should treat their wives, loving them as parts of themselves. For since a man and his wife are now one, a man is really doing himself a favor and loving himself when he loves his wife!


1 Peter 3:6 Amplified Bible
6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him [a]lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led into sin, nor to be harmed].

1 Peter 3:6 In ancient times a common title of honor and respect.


1 Peter 3:7
You husbands must be careful of your wives, being thoughtful of their needs and honoring them as the weaker sex. Remember that you and your wife are partners in receiving God’s blessings, and if you don’t treat her as you should, your prayers will not get ready answers.

Ephesians 5:22-23 GOD’S WORD Translation
22 Wives, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord’s authority. 23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.


[4:129] You can never be equitable in dealing with more than one wife, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, do not be so biased as to leave one of them hanging (neither enjoying marriage, nor left to marry someone else). If you correct this situation and maintain righteousness, GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. www.submission.org
