In my opinion The Boss wrote this about Police Officers and Firefighters (specificly for 9/11). They do heroic things everyday but are hardly ever rewarded. Now this guy is being rewarded and he doesn't know what to say, he just kind of goes on with his job. He also wants his girlfriend and/or wife to know he isn't anything special, just an oridinary guy.
