Criticizing a country song for the use of cliches in the lyric is like criticizing English poetry for the use of English words. Aside from the unique and cliched instrumentation (anything played with a dobro and a banjo is de facto country even if composed by Mozart), the use of cliches seems to be the hallmark of the genre. Of course part of the problem is that it is one of the few genres in which the lyric is distinguishable at all.
Obviously I am not a fan of COUNTRY music. Nonetheless I greatly admire and listen to "country" bands and singers in preference to a lot of mainstream popular music. Probably this is because what is now included in COUNTRY is what I was used to hearing played as ROCK & ROLL in my youth...only with a dobro. Sometimes, given the vast volume of writing and performing talent thrown at the country wall, some of it sticks.
And in fairness, there is nothing in this lyric that is either a typical CW cliche or difficult to understand or relate to. What is surprising is that somehow COUNTRY fans seem to be able to relate to a lyric that does not spell everything out in fourth grade diction and Dick & Jane construction.

btw Taylor Swift is one of my favorites...but I agree, clearly not COUNTRY.
