Yep, this song is pretty much about tough guys and their soft sides. They can't cry, so they sing to let it out. They're crying both because they were left behind as kids, and because they're probably leaving people behind now. MCD did a lot of songs about being left behind.
And now, two random comments.
Try listening to "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" right after listening to this song.
My favorite drink is rye whiskey, and this song is totally responsible.
