this is by far my favorite wsp song. this is my take on it: he's on the road, traveling, touring whatever and is homesick. he thinks of these memories (pappy, sally), trying to get through the day (waiting for morning) and uses drugs to escape (medicine).
smelling the cornbread bake = he's starting to get high
then in goes "still right here, brave friend": that's his conscience or whatever telling him "you're still not at home, even though you feel good, brave little friend: him, for taking these chances with drugs for nothing
so then he's all fucked up and partying and is happy with all these other people who are "self-medicating" for loneliness or unhappiness...or whatever
then morning comes, and everyone always feels better in the morning cause it's a fresh start, new day, etc., but he's "still right here"
i don't know, maybe i'm crazy. i guess that's just what it means for me
