Content

The song is a ballad in which the narrator has just left his lover because of her calling him on the phone and leaving notes stuck on his door. He ultimately tells her that " [he] ain't that lonely yet."

Reception

Bill Janovitz of Allmusic gave the song a positive review. He says the most compelling verse in the song is the second verse, because of the metaphor of the narrator's ex-lover as a spider.cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:fxfpxx9sldfe |title=Dwight Yoakam - "Ain't That Lonely Yet" |accessdate=2008-08-06 |last=Janovitz |first=Bill |work=Allmusic]
