It's about the regret of his past drug useage. Jerry said that he visited a family friend, and she said that his mother would be "sping in her grave," if she knew the life that he had lead after her death. That inspired him to right this song.

Glass Dick Jones... that's a slang term for a crack pipe. The song is about his remorse for his former (or I hope, and it appears to be) Crack habit. All of this has been confirmed by Jerry on a couple different occasions.
