"At least there's a record that I love to play, Dreaming about a place i'll never see.." - calebs mom not being able to do what she wanted to as shes tied down with kids?
"Low and behold things are killing me, silly expectations of a dream. Girls are goin-a love the way I toss my hair; boys are goin-a hate the way I seem." - could also be his mum having silly dreams that will never come true? and also his mum thinks that girls (her friends) will be proud of her for getting pregnant, but boys will hate the way she seems as women go through physical changes when they get pregnant (get bigger, sorry to be blunt) - her being too self conscious? |

"Betty, Betty, Annie" is a reference to their mum, because their mum is called Betty-Anne. Think the song could be about their mom conceiving caleb.
"Betty, Betty, Annie is a-praying, Baby with man like lungs, Smell her crying fighting back a fever mad as hell; give up!" - her actually giving birth to caleb. baby with man like lungs (the baby crying/calebs strong singing voice). her crying fighting back a fever mad as hell (pain of child birth)
"Something's a-growing that don't help me now, paging the doctor just in case." - baby bump growing?? asks the doctor to make 100% sure what it is??
"Low and behold things are killing me, silly expectations of a dream. Girls are goin-a love the way I toss my hair; boys are goin-a hate the way I seem." - Caleb as a youngster looking into the future and having big dreams? saying girls will like him for being different but boys wont be too impressed?
Just my opinion but i think the songs about caleb's mum conceiving and giving birth to him and a little about how he saw himself in the future when he was younger.

"Chances are that that worm in his lap doesn't even know which fish he'd like to bite tonight" --- saying the other guy he describes in the song has a "worm in his lap" (a small dick) and doesnt even know which "fish" (fish lips) (pussy) he wants to "bite" (screw) |

possibly the "she had problems with drinking milk" lyric could have something to do with the girl being lactose intolerant??? |

I think the "she saw my comb-over" lyric does have some relation to caleb being bald. because he said in an interview that he has a receding hair line. |

There is an interview with caleb explaining parts of this song. He said he wrote down eighteen - balding, because he has a receding hairline. |
