I love this song and I wish a lot of people I know would listen to this song. This reminds me of an ex. I didn't know him for too long, but I just worried about where his life was going and what he was doing to his family. So sad.
I always misunderstood the lyric "work ain't honest but it pays the bills." I always thought she meant work in general isn't honest, but she means his work specifically (hustling, drug dealing, whatever). I always thought she was talking about blue collar work and she meant it's not honest because he works hard and has nothing to show for it. You can tell I didn't really pay attention to this song at first! I feel like a dummy because the song is really straight forward when I look at it now.
