Alison Krauss – The Lucky One Lyrics 16 years ago
it seems to me like she i singing about someone who has either moved on from her or who is too free-spirited to fall in love...

"You can bet your love won't follow me
Just give you a song and a one-night-stand
You'll be lookin' at a happy man, 'cause you're the lucky one"

the one-night-stand part is the biggest indication for me, since the guy seems to just be satisfied drifting around instead of settling. i can't tell if she is envious of the way that person is though

Willy Mason – Hard Hand to Hold Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree with everyone on viewing people less fortunate as less than human, etc. and I think that's definitely one message in the song.
Additionally though, this song rings extremely true to me because some people (myself included) close themselves off and avoid letting people in out of fear of getting hurt and "losing the fight." I think he's saying that you can't go through life afraid to be vulnerable because eventually nobody will be there to hold hands with (figuratively and literally.)
