I think a song can be straightforward without being facile and these lyrics strike me as the latter.

I don't know, the one line - "I can't define love the way it should be and that's alright" - it always strikes me. I don't think of it as being facile at all. Probably because it's so out of place (or would have been in the time) in a country song. The rest of it, I see your point : "meet me down by the railway station...I decided yesterday that I would leave you..." As my Dad would say, "pour me another Bud!"
